Basically if ethanol cannot match the price per BTU, or price per mile of range of petrol options, it's a waste. Corn displaces other crops that could be grown.

Corn ethanol is a viable option, just like mowing my lawn with scissors is a viable option. Not going to happen unless someone is artificially paying me way more than it's worth, or otherwise forcing me to do it.
