Nice try!
http://web.extension.illinois.edu/ethanol/wateruse.cfmThe simple fact is that the ethanol industry is getting more and more efficient where as the petroleum industry gets more and more inefficient simply because every gallon of oil or cubic foot of gas cannot be replaced.
I'm guessing you don't think of big oil subsidies as "welfare"?
Yep, they most certainly are subsidized, right down to the railroad subsidies. I like your site though, if you look at the resources and references the site quite a few of the organizations that benefit from ethonol subsidies. Thing is that all they said is that they're still using a lot of water.
One thing that ethonol will never have over oil is efficiency, plain physics dictates that.
How about we just end all subsides? Get a over bloated, inefficient, full of cronyism gov. out of the business of doing business.
