Ethanol is an absurd boondoggle that does precious little except make gas and food more expensive. It takes almost as much energy to produce as it gives when burned and we need to eat corn. Corn growers love it because it jacks up the price, but other than that it's a plague on our country and does practically nothing to combat global warming or solve our energy problems.
If you really want useful ethanol, eliminate sugar tariffs and get it from there. The energy gain from sugar ethanol puts corn ethanol to shame and sugar is not a staple crop.
