Get rid of the Federal mandate / subsidy and Ethanol demand goes “poof”.
Let the free market decide.””
Problem is that every business with more than 50 employees receives incentives from either the feds, state or local governments. Check into local manufacturing in every small to large city across the nation and you find incentives have been paid to attract and retain businesses. Why do you want to single out the capturing of solar energy by corn famrers as the source of evil incentives unless you have middle east oil interests?

Because it makes both gas and food more expensive?
Even before ethanol, I never cared for the subsidization of Corn when that meant corn syrup was dumped/hidden in foods to utilize the excess productivity.
Also, the incentives to keep business local is usually absorbed by the community in which the business exists - the community receives a direct benefit there.
Federal mandates and subsidies are not local. I’d be happy if there were NO Federaly mandated subsidies.
The free market should be allowed to work.
