Corn ethanol, not bad??

I know we all have been heard how bad corn based ethanol is for the environment generally bad policy. So I figured I wanted to hear the other side of the story and this is what I found.

Here is a report from Texas A&M university detailing the reasons why ethanol is not a driver of higher food prices.

Also some more pages that detail other reasons why ethanol is not so bad.

I'm not sure if I am sold yet but it is interesting to think about.
