Economists against ethanol subsidies

Via Environmental Economics; I am only surprised that >20% of economists do think ethanol subsidies are a good idea.
Government subsidies on ethanol in the U.S. should be (N = 120)
  • eliminated - 55%
  • reduced a lot - 11%
  • reduced somewhat - 13%
  • kept about the same - 12%
  • increased somewhat - 9%
  • increased a lot - 1%
I would love to see a breakdown by region (as a proxy for something like the dependence of the member's university or organization on farm-related funding).
