Is it just me or do others see a problem with ethanol. I am really trying to understand the reasoning behind the use of ethanol but find it real hard to do.
First; The government subsidizes ethanol. This is a real sticking point for me because I believe every industry should stand on its own. If it is not profitable government subsidies (and/or tax breaks) is not the answer.
