"Please continue to sponsor legislation that makes ethanol- gasoline
cheaper than regular unleaded gasoline."

So...rainforests, bad. Taking away your cheap aviation fuel, bad. But
subsidizing corn production in Iowa, good?

No. I personally find the practice of subsidizing ethanol-based fuel
to be appalling (although they do it by taxing it *less* rather than
actually giving any money to the producers) -- but if they (as in
American politicians) are trying to find an effective way to make
people use more ethanol, I think that this method is less distasteful
than *mandating* its use.

If ethanol were actually an economically viable improvement to gasoline, we
wouldn't need laws to encourage it.

Agree 100% -- but I'm stuck in the reality of Iowa politics.
