I thought the article from Cornell was pretty convincing. The positives for ethanol in small percentages is it helps clean internal parts an adds octane. In E85 form it's like high octane racing fuel but a lot less efficient, requiring 20-25% more to achieve the same yield an in seasonal vehicles it goes bad fast.I don't have a dog in the fight for or against ethanol. But the statement that producing ethanol yields a net energy loss is false and nothing in article supports it being true.
It's being subsidized for a reason.....most likely it takes more energy to produce than it delivers.
