I had read that the end of the subsity was only for corn based ethanol production. Cellulostic is still getting funding even though they hopefully won't need it in a year or two.

Edit:

It appears that it is all ethanol subsity, not just corn based.

They've also elminated the tarrifs on importing ethanol which means sugarcane produced ethanol will start to be imported from Brazil


I wonder how much crying I'll hear about this at work... I'd get a chuckle out of it because the norm is to bash ethanol because it hurts mileage.
