The cost of that nitrogen and everything else needed to grow that corn was figured in to Gary"s equation, the 273 gallon gain was net gain after all costs. 273 x 77000 btus per gallon equals 21,021,000 btu net gain per acre from the sun very significant I would think. Just Google ethanol btu and read some of them.

Another hit on Google shows several different studies showing it as efficient. 34% energy gain with only 17% of the energy being used coming from fossil fuels. Another said 6.34 btu gained from every one btu used. These were on a journeytoforever.org website and looked to be legit. Lee
