I saw that too. Very interesting to say the least, but I couldn't help thinking that there has to be more to the story that the show didn't cover. They showed a huge difference in the price of gas vs ethanol. Gas & diesel were shown to be about double the price of ethanol. That doesn't make sense and it wasn't explained.

The suspicion I have is that the ethanol is being subsidised. Perhaps by the Brasilian government, perhaps by taxes on the gasoline that aren't on the ethanol.
Wish I knew a little more about it.
