This is great.
Right now all gasoline sold in the US needs to contain 10% bioethanol. That's just a handout scheme to corn farmers, who plant this corn on 30 million acres of good agricultural land. One out of three acres planted with corn is used for bioethanol.
If we convert this area to produce, let's say, bamboo, which could be converted to bio jet fuel, then that would make much more sense.
Surface traffic can and will be electrified in the years to come. Air traffic will never get electrified. We need a carbon neutral source for jet fuel.
