<<Converting corn to ethanol is an enormously expensive proposition.>>

I hear this a lot and would like someone to find a reasonable site that shows the cost. All it takes is a vat to make mash and a moon shiners still. Burning left over corn stalks would put the cost at about $2.50 a gallon.

Benefits:

Less payout of $Billions in farm programs.
Less imported oil.
Much cleaner air.
In colder climates no need to spend $1.79 a half pint of the same stuff so as not to have gas line freeze up.
