The Ethanol Policy is flawed !!
The bad economics of ethanol are clear, and the bad environmental science behind its usage is even more evident. Brazil has a large sugar and corn market, so they have long used ethanol.

They also provided a test case for what happened when it got too expensive in the early part of this decade - planting corn for food was overtaken by corn for ethanol in the U.S. and that gave Brazil a better export than domestic market for all their ethanol & costs rose sharply

so one million flexible-fuel vehicles in São Paulo switched back to gasoline. As a result of going back to gasoline, ozone levels dropped by 20 percent.Environmentalists who once demanded ethanol are now opposed to it. Farmers looking at the prospect of selling 2 billion more

bushels of corn are all for it. The public should be perplexed. If the goal is to give domestic farmers a financial boost during a trade war, it would be cheaper for the govt to just cut farmers a check.Then the future would not be saddled with this alternative energy boondoggle.
