Whereas the US government gives massive monetary saupport to
agri-business, much of it going to corn producers.  One problem in
deriving ethanol from corn is that corn prices are artificially
inflated.

There is enough sugar cane in Brazil and other tropical countries to
provide ethanol for the much of the US needs.  It is kept out of the
USA by high duty fees which agribusiness lobbiests sought to keep
away competition for the US' sugar market.
