I read somewhere that ethanol production had the government subsidizing corn producers...and if it takes so much fossil fuel to produce ethanol, of what benefit is it?

benefit is it?

it puts taxpayer money into the pockets of ethanol producers - the benefit is bought votes from all of the corn producers and the stockholders of Archer Daniels Midlands, Inc. The benefit to the public? No benefit at all to the public, in fact active detriment.
