Okay, so i know that you are all concerned with how much energy it takes to make E85 fuel to begin with. When they use the corn and refine it to get the ethanol, there is a ton of this bi-product material that does not go into the fuel and this bi-product waste is almost half of the amount of ethanol each batch produces, which... is a lot of waste.
HOWEVER: The bi-product can be recycled to make a more crude oil to run the machines on that refine the corn. so it would all get cycled around. That's not too bad now.
(watched a whole speacial on E85 on TV)
