I still don’t think you understood Phil’s comment.
Presumably, you won’t be able to make sense of this either:
“In addition, production of ethanol is energy efficient, in that it yields nearly 25 percent more energy than is used in growing the corn, harvesting it, and distilling it into ethanol.”
The problem appears to be that you are incorrectly imagining that the other people in the discussion are trying to account for factors such as sunlight.
