Kerosene releases more energy then ethanol but it is harder to put into engines that run on gasoline already.

Two drinks and I have to get a taxi home. As an energy source, the process of concentrating ethanol consumes a lot of energy. It depends on who you believe, but the amount of energy consumed may exceed the amount of energy in the ethanol created. If that's so, then ethanol may be a useful form of energy (in the same was as electricity is), but not a useful source of energy.

There is not one constant answer to this. The market on ethanol changes every day. See the link to the Ethanol Market page below to follow up today's prices and recent trends.
