California Board: Ethanol Worse than Petroleum?

The California Air Resource Board says that ethanol is not a solution to global warming and might actually be worse for the environment than oil.

As they see it, corn is no better – and might be worse – than petroleum when total greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions are considered. Such a declaration, to be considered later this week by the California Air Resources Board, would be a considerable blow to the corn-ethanol industry in the United States.

Is anyone tired of this environmental silliness yet?
