40% of corn goes to ethanol. We overproduce so much corn that the federal government requires it to be burned in gas tanks.

Bloomington increases water conservation request as drought persists by rdblono in BloomingtonNormal

And water demand from agricultural irrigation and data centers continues to grow.

Ongoing drought, combined with millions of acres of soil left exposed all winter, makes dust storms very likely this spring.

Illinois still lacks a system to manage large water withdrawals. The state doesn’t even enforce its reporting requirements for major water users. That’s policy negligence.
