Cellulosic Ethanol

Just a quick note, cellulosic ethanol seems to be a viable alternative fuel until one looks at what is necessary to produce it in terms of energy. It seems that it requires an equal amount if not more energy than the final product will yield. In the end ramping up cellulosic ethanol production to a level that will be able to serve even a small portion of this nations needs will require more fossil fuels. And once production has attained to this level, it cannot sustain itself with its own product.
