The Heartland Institute - Are the Ethanol Wars Over?

Excerpt: "Unlike the much-hyped and -subsidized wind and solar power, ethanol is an alternative fuel with genuine promise of social and economic benefits. Its foes and proponents alike would do well to set aside their past disagreements and start planning for a fast-growing and environmentally sustainable industry without the needless costs of mandates and taxpayer subsidies."

Competitive Enterprise Institute - Why Do We Need a Law to Make Us Buy Ethanol?

Excerpt: "Federal and state laws already prop up ethanol fuel in various ways. Motorists pay 51 cents less in federal gasoline taxes for every gallon of ethanol purchased, and Wisconsin pays ethanol makers 20 cents for every gallon produced. If ethanol were such a great deal for consumers, it would not need market-distorting tax breaks and subsidies, much less a market-rigging mandate, to compete with conventional gasoline."
