That's an important distinction that I don't think people realize. CORN is a renewable resource. Ethanol is not. It takes so much energy to grow the corn, transport the raw materials, make the ethanol, transport the ethanol, that the net energy gain is actually a loss. If you're spending more to make something than you get from it, it's not renewable.
