If it did nothing but put Archer Daniels Midland's corn->ethanol scam out of business, it would be a wonder.

ADM consumes a third of the US corn crop and billions of dollars of tax money, year in and year out.

Haha, absolutely.

A lot of EU countries also mandate E10 gasoline in a misguided effort to reduce GHG emissions. I'm not sure where they get all that ethanol from, but I'm sure it's a similar agribusiness scam as US corn ethanol.
