Corn based ethanol is an energy net net loser. It takes nearly as much energy to produce as it will yield, the 10% taxpayer subsidized blend nets a 7+% efficiency penalty, this while it creates artificial demand for a commodity driving up ALL grain prices (wheat is indexed to corn). Higher feed costs, higher transportation costs, higher food costs. They used to call it inflation, paying more to get less. Now, they call it environmental justice. If you are concerned now, tune in to the proposed EPA greenhouse gas regs. They include an e15 mandate (15% ethanol blend, 50% higher than the e10 we are suffering with today). The primary obstacle to the e15 mandate is the petroleum retailers association insisting on federal protection from the liability associated with the e15 sale.
