Default Is adding ethanol to petrol a bad idea?

Is the adding of ethanol to petrol a bad idea? They went for this in the US big time and now a percentage of all petrol contains ethanol. There are a lot of debates on this so I just wondered if you had come across any useful info?

The enviro tree huggers will probably get this introduced over in the Uk at some point as the Ethanol can be produced from renwable, fluffy carbon free, additive free sources The idea is that if we all use 10% ethanol then our oil consumption drops by 10%. In reality it appears to have a much darker side.
