Derailed railroad cars burn in Painesville, Ohio, in this Oct. 10, 2007 file photo. Several cars from the freight train hauling ethanol and other hazardous chemicals derailed, setting off a large, smoky fire and prompting the evacuation of a half-mile area. America's push to replace gasoline with alternative fuels has left firefighters across the nation ill-equipped to deal with ethanol-fueled fires. (AP Photo/Jamie-Andrea Yanak, File)

Ethanol also causes your tax money to be burned furiously.

Racecar fuel is alcohol (don’t recall if it’s ethanol or methanol). How do CART, NASCAR, IRL handle fires?

Another problem with ethanol besides driving up the price of food.
