The US needs to tax gasoline now to force it to $4 a gallon to restrict usage. That ethanol study simply said that it cost more fossil fuel to make ethanol than you get back in usable ethanol. Only the farm states benefit. In Brazil I assume they use waste sugar cane stalks to fire the stills, in the US you could use waste heat from nuclear reactors but it makes no sense to burn nat gas.
