Folks,
Ethanol has a role, it has it’s pros and cons.
The problem is the one size fits all of centralized government or socialism as we know it. The problem is not ethanol............................
Ethanol would be an acceptable fuel in the absence of petroleum. Nitpicking gasoline and diesel is easy too. Fuel ethanol is simply not necessary and is too expensive in today’s conditions.
What is the but content per {unit of measure} and the corresponding cost to produce?
.
No gel could possibly come from any alcohol.

I should get a subsidy for all the fuel lines in weedeaters, chain saws, blowers, etc. that I have had to replace.
... the forced diversion of corn into the fuel markets is raising the cost of food. animal

Me; too.
Where can I buy a wood gas generator?
I disagree, only because Ted Cruz who was unapologetically opposed to ethanol subsidies still won the GOP nomination in Iowa.
Don't underestimate the power of Iowans to think for themselves.
I’d guess ending ethanol subsidies would affect the farm economy much like ending federal guaranteed student loan programs would affect academia.
By all means, do it! But, phase it out over a number of years to allow investors time to reallocate resources.
