The thing is up until this point the increase has been on hold since there has been evidence to support the idea that ethanol has increased the amount of pollutants which is currently being studied. There is also the fear that it is also causing human health hazards as well. Of course this doesn't exactly tow the "green" line so who knows what will happen.
