Ethanol is very viable. Look at the amount of value that has been added to corn and the jobs it has produced. Every thing from trucks to haul the corn and ethanol to the guys that built the plants. The seed companys to the fertilizer plants all have as many if not more employees than ever.
Corn and other grains are the only thing the US has to trade back to China to keep China from owning this country. If the price of grain is high it causes china to give back more of the dollars that we are sending over there.
Iowa, as well as Nebraska I'm sure, have a strong state economy. More income for the farmers means more money going back to the state in income taxes.

Just my opinion and everybody is allowed to have an opinion.
