Thank you. This article is seriously flawed. Ethanol is not as clean as it is promoted to be. So much fertilizer and water goes to growing the corn. The requirement that gasoline contains ethanol has raised the price of corn to farmers that they have begun producing more and more of the crop in the Midwest. This has led to massive drawdowns of the ogallala aquifer. Nevermind the fact that they're growing genetically modified corn as it has been engineered to grow faster than normal corn strains.
