Hey, It's a start

Now go after all the other tax breaks for business (that are mostly social engineering gone crazily wrong).

First Ethanol, then the others. Bet you can name a few right off the bat that are either useless, outmoded, or just plain wrong. 

Let the market decide. If something is good, the people will buy it. If it isn't, then all the tax breaks won't really make the product any more accepted.

As it is, there is still a government mandate that we have to use 10%  (soon to be 15%) ethanol in our gasoline. There is a government mandated market for the product, with a tariff on imported ethanol.

Someone like me, who was cynical, might wonder how much it cost to purchase persuade those Congressmen that this was a good idea in the first place....
