Ethanol from garbage makes total sense. Ripping up thousands of acres of
rainforest, old-growth forest, or re-purposing farmland to take
advantage of government subsidies for making ethanol from the sugar in
corn... not so much.
The reason that Brazil was able to put together an effective ethanol
economy was (at least in part) that they could grow sugarcane, which has
much higher sugar content than corn.
