As a car guy, I _LOVE_ ethanol. 106 octane means being able to run
13:1 compression on the street. However, the idea of making it from
corn is a stupid one. If I was a politician running for office, the
artificial constraint of a needed grain (wheat/corn) looks awfully
attractive. The US is the dominant supplier of these grains, and if
we keep the supplies artificially low, then we've brokered a position
of power in the new food economy.
I don't know if our morons running for office can think that far
ahead, but if they can, I'm sure they're thinking about this.
