Is the end nigh? NYT goes after ethanol
[HOT Air] The Climate Solution That’s Horrible for the Climate

Do tell!

...It’s fairly well-known that farm-grown fuels like corn ethanol and soy biodiesel accelerate food inflation and global hunger, but they’re also a disaster for the climate and the environment. And that’s mainly because they’re inefficient land hogs. It takes about 100 acres worth of biofuels to generate as much energy as a single acre of solar panels; worldwide, a land mass larger than California was used to grow under 4 percent of transportation fuel in 2020.

Actually, in the Green world, it’s not "fairly well known," as climate advocates have done everything they can to pummel the fossil fuel industry and bury any whiff of hypocrisy, environmental harms, deleterious effects on society, or misstatement of efficacy as far their biodiesel and alternate fuels claims go.

#5 As an elderly Navajo gentleman told his customer at an Arizona gas station when questioned as to why no ethanol gas was available there, "Why would we put food in our cars?"
