For sure.  We get so wrapped up in discussing decimal points we forget to drop it and move on.  PO is here no matter where the decimal point is.  Ethanol is a failure even if it is slightly positive.  Better to take that energy and put it to some use where you get real returns.  Heck, instead of making Ethanol, use that fossil fuel energy to make fiberglass insulation to stuff into every house and building.  That has to give an EROEI of 100 to 1, I would think!  Instead of building nuclear reactors we could install solar hot water heaters on every house.  They would produce results as soon as they were installed and are not radioactive at the end of their life.  No terrorist wants a solar water heater!  TODers, please consider installing solar thermal heaters if you don't already have one.  They qualify for tax rebates this year.
