Ethanol policy is a pure hand-out to corn states. It takes more energy to make a gallon of ethanol than the produced gallon of ethanol contains. The only reason it's cheap is because it's subsidized or produced with crops that are subsidized (and probably over-produced as a result). I guess brazil has cheap sugarcane, but I'll bet that when you tally up the costs, the program subsidizes sugar cane producers, and probably contributes to deforestation.
