guess why.
Hey gang.
ETHANOL is made from the
NON-GRAIN part of the corn plant that
WE DON'T EAT.
ETHANOL would be in competition with
CATTLE FEED.
There are over 4,000 products that have corn in them, including PAPER, BEEF, PORK, CHICKEN, and a bunch more stuff.
Human food is just one of the things corn is used for.
ETHANOL can be made from almost any plant.
There are plants that we don't eat (like grasses) that can be used to make ETHANOL too.
Brasil is BIG on ETHANOL, they use a lot of SUGAR CANE to make theirs.
Most people you read or hear talking about ETHANOL ill-effecting our HUMAN food supply, usually will be a PRO-FOSSIL FUEL/ANTI-ETHANOL guy for whatever reason.
Jay Leno was just talking down ETHANOL after years of talking it UP.
WHAT UP?
We have been breathing foul dirty air now for 100 years.
It's better to have something going on as opposed to NOTHING!
GO "CORN STOVER"
Corn stover consists of the leaves and stalks of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.) plants left in a field after harvest and consists of the residue: stalk; the leaf, husk, and cob remaining in the field following the harvest of cereal grain.” Stover makes up about half of the yield of a crop and is similar to straw.

Biomass ethanol is ``ethanol made from non-grain plant materials known as biomass.''
Biomass ethanol would use the corn stover from the corn crop produced in areas around ethanol plants.
Wikipedia
Maize stover, together with other
lignocellulosic biomass, provides about the potential 1.3 billion tons of raw materials that could produce future fuel in the next 50 years.
Wikipedia
Corn stover,
Panicum virgatum (
switchgrass), Miscanthus grass species, wood chips and the byproducts of lawn and tree maintenance are some of the more popular
cellulosic materials for ethanol production.
