that sugar does not grow there does not change the fact that corn is very inefficient for biofuel

- quickthrowman 1y agoField corn can also be made into cornmeal, which we can eat. Which is exactly why we subsidize corn growers. We don’t grow corn specifically to make ethanol, we grow corn because we can eat it if we lose all food imports. I’d much rather eat cornmeal for years than sugar beets. Turning excess corn into ethanol happens to be better than burying it or throwing it away.
