Ethanol is a waste IMO and serves no useful purpose other than helping out farmers with tax incentives. And makes the greenies feel better!
"Pitfalls of biofuels
Unfortunately, it's not so simple. The process of growing the crops, making fertilizers and pesticides, and processing the plants into fuel consumes a lot of energy. It's so much energy that there is debate about whether ethanol from corn actually provides more energy than is required to grow and process it. Also, because much of the energy used in production comes from coal and natural gas, biofuels don't replace as much oil as they use."
