the only reason they are close to profitable is that they are freaking subsidized.
It shocks and saddens me that people on a conservative site can be either so blind or so dumb to the truth.

Just how much are ethanol producers subsidized? Corn farmers receive subsidies that go down when the price of corn goes up. Ethanol blenders, often your local oil/gasoline companies that supply gas stations get a $.51 per gallon income tax credit for every gallon of pure ethanol the blend in. As far as I know the producers themselves don't get any subsidies unless a state gives them the subsidies. They make a profit because they can produce ethanol for somewhere in the neighborhood of a dollar a gallon and then sell it for more than that.
