The US Environmental Protection Agency, may start investigating the environmental benefits of corn ethanol processes, according to a post on Chemically Green, which quotes a letter from Friends of the Earth and others to the EPA.
The thrust of the letter is that the EPA should consider all of the effects of changing land use to grow more corn... Sounds fair enough to me, but where do you start measuring from... and where do you measure to? I'm with Bjorn Lomborg, who likes to get the largest data set he can before coming to a conclusion.
