It takes a lot of energy to produce and in the end ethanol provides fewer BTU than gasoline so it takes more of it to do the same work. It also has undesirable by products the EPA isn’t fond of and is corrosive in high quantities. I almost forgot the big one. It is unaffordable without government subsidizes.
