“The ethanol plants are not closed because of Federal government orders related to COVID-19, but rather by market forces”.

Funny! The article is all about how governments are massively distorting the market. US twiddling the ethanol supply. Russia/Saudi Arabia oil shenanigans. Government ordered shutdowns massively reducing demand for fuel.

It's like violence. If it ain't working, we need more (government intervention).
