Technology Connections’ excellent overview of current solar technology has a simple cost-benefit analysis of corn ethanol, which concludes that even if corn ethanol required ZERO energy inputs, it would still be easily outperformed by current solar + battery storage with exceedingly conservative estimates on efficiency, watt-hours per acre, etc.
