Scientists debate ethanol's benefits

Ethanol cars still burn hydrocarbons and make pollution. The main difference is that the carbon in Ethanol was taken from the atmosphere when the corn (or other plant) grew. Whereas the carbon in Oil/Gas was taken from the atmosphere millions (or thousands) of years ago.

The pollution made when ethanol or gasoline is burned will stay in the atmosphere for the same amount of time, and cause the same problems.
