"This links isn't from a site I normally would link to, but it makes some arguments against wide spread use of ethanol as a fuel" Personally, I'd prefer if the ethanol isn't made from corn. It is hard to make it cost effective and is fairly marginal as far as energy gained. There are other potential sources, sugar cane is better. Things like switch grass is a lot better. Things like bio-oil can also be useful by displacing fuel oil from petroleum and can also be used as a feedstock. To be cost effective, attention needs to be paid to the whole cycle. That includes using the gasses and char to fuel the process. nh.gov
