Where does the ethanol come from? Brazil.

So some faceless EPA type convinced somebody to use ethanol, the
politicans bought into it because it looks good to farmers and we buy
it from Brazil.

It's actually worse than that. Supposedly the net energy cost of
producing ethanol is greater than the energy delivered in combustion,
taking into account fertilizer production, planting, harvesting,
distribution, etc.

Oops, there goes that idea.
