I want to burst this bubble.

Well if you are going to burst the ethanol bubble then perhaps you can speak to the conversion ratio of the cellulosic ethanol that the article speaks to. It seems there is a significant breakthrough there where they are talking about conversion cost dropping from $5 a barrel to $.20 a barrel. Have you researched this or are you speaking about the traditional method?
