The link I posted looked at the entire cycle for producing ethanol. From planting to the pump. Not a specific step in the process. If you look at a single step in any process it is easy to draw incorrect conclusions about it's ability to deliver as an energy source.

As a side note Brazil uses sugar cane because it can. Last time it checked corn is easy to grow in the states and sugar cane is limited to extreme southern climes.
