By volume or by weight

When discussing the percents mixtures, may I suggest that you editors be more explicit and specify percent by volume or by weight. --JohnHerbster — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnHerbster (talk • contribs) 17:22, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Energy Balance

Dear All,

The energy balance quoted in this article is based on a single source (National Geographic Article) and may not be accurate as there are other sources (USDA and published scientific papers) that give different numbers. I propose to update this, maybe in a week or two, if there are no objections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.206.125.120 (talk) 17:43, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cellulosic ethanol

The article’s references to cellulosic ethanol frame it as a subject of contemporary research and interest. I find this framing somewhat problematic as the references cited on the subject are from 2009 or earlier. Is it valid to indicate cellulosic ethanol science as the current state of research when references are more than 10 years old?

Good point. Please see the updated section. Sandcherry (talk) 17:00, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The environmental implications are not fully discussed. Many sources suggest it is not a net benefit, and may be an actual harm, and that’s without considering the vast amount of natural wilderness lost or potentially lost to farmland, a very big harm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:C601:6010:8937:1975:D181:D614 (talk) 00:46, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
