-Keep in mind Iowa also leads the nation in ethanol production for decades, which is forced on everyone else in the US via subsidies and laws the EPA is behind.  It is NOT more cost effective than the gasoline it displaces, except during the times oil prices spike very high.  The last stat I read years ago was it typically costs $1.05 to make $1.00 worth of ethanol.  The hope was technology would correct that in a short time.  
-It's a fact that ethanol is cleaner energy.
