Here is another point to consider with ethanol:
Whats the best way to avoid damage caused by a spike in gas prices (such as the one in 2008)? Diversify fuel sources. The most viable way to do that at the moment is with ethanol. But spikes like that rise faster than production capacity can be added, the price of fuel can double in a mater of months yet it would take years to build more ethanol plants and get the feed stock. So capacity needs to be there before hand so it can meet the demand with minimal lag.

Most here on missing the main point, which would be without government interference there would be
no need to pursue any alternative fuel at the moment. The government(s)
are the reasons gas prices are so high, thus in absence of their meddling our want for an alternative fuel source simply disappears.
