<<It is my understanding that one of the largest government welfare programs is subsidies to Ethanol producers.>> They don't collect any subsidy money, they just don't pay the road tax that is on gasoline. <<One of the problems with mandating ethanol over MTBE is that ethanol is not easily transported form one region of the country to another.>> I just watched a train with 50 10,000 gallon tankers full of ethanol go buy. Now it doesn't do well in pipelines but neither do clothes, cars, lumber ... and they all get shipped. Ethanol does a better job of cutting pollution than MTBE and doesn't cause cancer like MTBE does.
