Given the choice I definitely prefer Brazilian ethanol. (:^o)
Yup
We’re doomed. What insanity!
Yup. You expect this kind of ignorance and incompetence from Democrats, but the bozos ‘leading’ the Republican party are just as guilty, if not more so.

Every time they screw with the market, we get screwed.
Nah, that couldn't be...
Who eats 450# of feed-corn per year? The sky is falling! Ethanol will kill us all!
Brazil is magic, we can't do what they have done. The highly profitable ethanol plants only run on government dollars. Why invest in alternative fuels now when we can keep giving Oil barons our money and trust them to wean us off of their product. The status quo cannot be improved in my lifetime, I'll fight progress away from petroleum till I die. Make my kids drink MTBE, anything but natural safe renewable bio-fuel.
Ethanol is hydroscopic and, even if one could temporarily remove all water, it absorbs water from the surrounding atmosphere.
Williams appears to be off by a factor of several hundred on this figure alone:
"In general, the production of ethanol consumes roughly four gallons of water for every one gallon of ethanol produced, although the figure ranges from 3.5 to 6 in Minnesota ethanol plants. This figure varies from plant to plant depending on the processes that each plant uses to produce the fuel. In general, newer plants have been growing more efficient with their water use." - link
self-ping and bttt
It’s a sin to burn food. This is where I start at.
We need to be digging up our clean Western coal reserves. Make it into electricity and run more electric cars

Proof that ethanol is viable.
