Ethanol is a big lie anyways, it's less efficient than gasoline and because so much corn is being diverted to ethanol production it's driving up the cost of feed for livestock which leads to higher food prices.

So we end up getting worse fuel economy and paying more for groceries. Sounds like a winning combination!
Let's not forget the significant increase of pesticides and fertilizers that will bleed into the watershed.

Corn is not an efficient crop for producing ethanol over the long term - there are many, better alternatives.
