Alcohol Can Be a Gas: Debunking Myths About Ethanol [View article]
Keith, I don't know if you read the article. Ethanol production can still create the same amount of food - or even more - if done properly - not that it currently is. DDGS contains everything from the plant except some sugars/starches that are often hard for an animal to digest. The DDGS byproduct is a superior animal feed.
If we are truly worried about producing enough food - we should be using greenhouse aquaponic systems - sustainable fish farming. Fish only require 1.5 lbs of feed to produce 1 lb of meat... Cows require 10 lbs of feed to produce 1 lb of meat... So, we could be 6.5x more efficient by using fish... That's A LOT more food. And Fuel to boot if we use crops that are over 10x more efficient at creating ethanol than corn. It can be done right...
