Corn ethanol not so bad?

Much better than gasoline

A few new studies by the Illinois Corn Growers Association - obviously an unbiased source - suggest that many complaints about corn-based ethanol are unfounded. According to GCC the reports "conclude that the production of corn ethanol results in a smaller lifecycle carbon footprint than that of gasoline—significantly so in some cases. The reports also conclude that ongoing improvements in crop yield and more efficient production technologies will continue to improve the carbon profile of the biofuel, while also allowing room for expansion without impact on food or feed supplies."

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but the Illinois Corn Growers Association? Sort of reminds me of all the Wall Street execs, just before the financial collapse, claiming that the US financial system and their companies were in perfect shape.
