More ethanol means higher food prices and co2 emissions.
So, corn stocks are high and prices are low so this is now an option. Unfortunately food producers are monopolies so prices for food can remain high. But anyway the overall fact is that 1/3 of farming for corn is for ethenol production and if that was used for solar then it would be enough electricity to power the US in all sectors, industrial, transportation and commercial. Dumb
All just to win Iowa in Presidential election. Ethanol is not a net benefit to anyone except Iowa farmers.
