Well if it takes more fossil fuel to produce ethanol than ethanol replaces then it indeed makes no sense. I am not sure this is really the case. There are plenty of such claims but plenty to the contray that seem perhaps even more credible. For one US DOT says corn-2-ethanol 38% gain. I don't know the truth but a positive relationship should indeed be a requirement. If there are better sources great those should be favored.
As far as taxes go look at all the tax support to oil production. Oil production is already a well established industry yet it gets significant direct and indirect tax support. Whether it be foriegn "policy" matters or the controversy over tax benefits to the profitable oil industry clearly we are spending significant tax money on the oil life line. As long as it really makes sense (and isn't a cash cow driven by special interests) helping bring new energy sources online isn't necessarily a bad investment if in the long run they improve the overall situation.
