The production of ethanol for gasoline additives has been shown to be a net energy loser, and does not result in cleaner burning gasoline.
Those objections may become trivial and outdated by technology. Even if I agreed with you completely now, it wouldn't change my mind.
The production of ethanol for gasoline additives has been shown to be a net energy loser Under current assumptions of energy costs, of course, in some scenario you haven't explained.
... and does not result in cleaner burning gasoline.
That may be correctable, and if you have a car that runs on gas or alcohol, and there's no gas, it won't matter to you.
