Just thinking...

You know, this kind of stuff is just ignored by the GREENIES. It appears that nuclear to electricity is the way to go. Then what happens when we become dependent on a single power source?

“Cornell University and University of California-Berkeley study.

In terms of energy output compared with energy input for ethanol production, the study found that:

* corn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced;

* switch grass requires 45 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced; and

* wood biomass requires 57 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.

In terms of energy output compared with the energy input for biodiesel production, the study found that:

* soybean plants requires 27 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced, and

* sunflower plants requires 118 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.”
