Oh, yay, another thread where people can continually say "Ethanol is lower energy. ETH4N0|_ SUXXORZzZ!1!" Listen, chemically, ethanol may contain less energy, but is suited to be higher octane. You can use this octane rating to an advantage to creat more energy-efficient engines built around ethanols chemical properties.
As for this shortage, the problem could begin to be alleviated in the long run when we look at switchgrass/canola/various tall grass biomass mixtures that are much better for the environment and more energy-efficient to produce than corn ethanol. Right now, most of the ethanol hype is just political, not about saving the earth, our economy, or our wallets.
