Definitely a major worry. ADM, Cargill et al are already winning that future war, seems to me, with the likes of Club Sierra apparently preferring MTBE to ethanol, mainly through opposition to the ADMs, from what I can make out, and a misplaced concern about nitrate run-off from industrialised maize production, along with which party the corn-state senators belong to. They've completely confused ethanol and agribusiness. How can you win if you've got it all wrong in the first place?
