you are totally correct about this one. ethanol subsidies exist because of an extremely powerful ag lobby. this mostly benefits large companies, such as monsanto, while not doing a lot for farmers.
it takes more fossil fuels to create a gallon of ethanol than it would just burning it in your car. however, then we don't have as much smog coming out of your tailpipe.
it would actually be more efficient to throw corn husks into a furnace and burn them.
