Would ethanol farming not create thousands more jobs, thuis solving two problems at once?

I was researching on a website way back before Christmas 2006 which advised that new fuel pumps and injectors would be required to convert a normal petrol car to run on bio-ethanol, but from what I could tell the bio-ethanol would need to be much more readily available to make it worth doing.

What happened to LPG? That was meant to be the eco solution the automotive industry had been searching for? I remember Quantin Wilson blasting a daffodil with his Land Rover's exhaust to prove it a few years ago...?
