Since almost all ethanol comes from corn, actually costs more to produce
(or roughly equal using the most modern and advance technology we have)
than what it can be sold for. As long as ethanol is produced from corn
crops, ethonol will remain a government hand out to farmers. There is no
way, based on current corn-ethanol conversion technology, corn makes any
economical sense at all.

This is no surprise this is happening in the middle of corn country.
These moves show just how corrupt the representatives in Iowa really are.
They've been trying to do stuff like this for over a decade...probably a
lot longer even...
