Ethanol mandate for fuels in Queensland

[hainsofast]

I recall reading an article that mentioned it takes more energy to make one liter of ethanol than the energy you get from burning that liter.

If that's the case, ethanol is not "green".

suppose it depends how the energy to make it is produced? If it is by low carbon, or carbon neutral sources (i.e. solar) then it would be green.

And there is (or was) a well respected marine biologist here on this forum that showed a lot of damage to the GBRMP is associated with chemical run off from cane farms which as I understand is the primary source for ethanol.

And yet I think that is refuted by Walter Stark?

Hopefully no one will buy it as seemed to happen last time they tried to introduce this rubbish, if no one buys it then they will stop making it.
