We already know that ethanol consumes more energy in its manufacture than it produces when consumed, that it is difficult to transport and evaporates easily. It is also subsidized by the feds at 50 cents/gallon. There is a protective tariff at 51 cents/gallon. It drives up food costs. Oh, and the corn it comes from is a subsidized crop.
Those who support this collectivist energy utopia will also enjoy Hillarycare.

the raghead ratio is more than ten to one.
from one gallon of petroleum, results in
more than ten times that energy, in ethanol. (US, corn)
Do you have a problem with that?

That is for non-CBI countries, namely Brazil.

You’re confused about crop subsidies.
