Ish re:"<Is there any federal or state subsidy on ethanol? >> In a way no." I'm not sure how to read your answer....is there or is there not a subsidy on ethanol....if so, how much? I also seem to recall that Detroit lobbied against ethanol. Do you have any info on this? If it renewable, if it works, and it's clean I don't know why anyone would be against it...you seem to suggest that Clinton was but the only one that I know that spoke against it was John McCain in the last campaign..
