What makes it a joke? Its renewable and sustainable. In a perfect world, all of our consumables would be renewable and sustainable.

Ethanol production is worse for the environment than if we just burned regular gas. It's become a political football though.

The way it's currently grown, I completely believe you. But environmental cost isn't the concern for me. I just like to know that when I'm investing in thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment and transportation that fuel and parts will always be available.

Despite the higher natural cost both financially and environmentally of ethanol, I like the idea of knowing that I can power all my ICEs with seed and plow on my own land.

Meh ... production can be made sustainable. Just need to emphasize sustainability.
