Ethanol - Is it the clean fuel its made out to be?

Wherever you go today in the US, when the talk about energy arises, the talk somehow leads to ethanol and how it is such a clean fuel and a renewable energy source?, how it will reduce US dependence on Middle Eastern oil? how it will help reduce global warming? etc etc... To be honest, I also believed it till I saw this video. I never thought about how ethanol is produced, the costs associated with producing it, or where is the corn needed to produce ethanol going to come from.... See the video below to see the so called side effects of ethanol. The speaker is Jerry Taylor of The Cato Institute
