That was a good link, it seems like replacing corn with an alternative crop really is the sensible direction.
There is something of note in the methodology behind the figures though:
“We apply our models only domestically”
Throughout the years of this study, the US imported most of its gasoline. The production emissions are excluded. It’s not comparing like with like.
- thinkcontext 4y ago> Throughout the years of this study, the US imported most of its gasoline. Uhh what? We export more gasoline than we import. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_sum_snd_a_epm0f_mbblpd_a_cur.htm https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_sum_snd_a_epm0f_mbblpd_a_cu... Even if you meant crude oil and not gasoline you are still wrong, we recently became a net oil exporter.
