<<Ethanol subsidies cost U.S. taxpayers and the economy about $1 billion a year. (edit - 1995) Farmers only get about thirty cents of every dollar spent on ethanol, with the rest going to ethanol producers such as agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland.>> But those dollars stay in the US where the Treasury has a shot at getting them back in taxes. But it's not all about the money, ethanol does a good job of cleaning up exhaust emmissions. BTW, look for soy diesel in the future, it's a way of getting the sulphur out of the fuel and air.
