“The problem, laid out in two new studies in the journal Science, is that it takes a lot of land to grow biofuel feedstocks such as corn, and as forests or grasslands are cleared for crops”
An outright lie. Cropland has always been cropland. There is little to no land being used for crop production that hasn’t already been used for crops before.
There is more CO2 being emitted from lack of proper forest management, allowing tens of millions of acres of vegetated land to burn rampantly. Wild fires are a total mismanagement of timber resources that could effectively reduce CO2 naturally. Burning off the forests makes no sense. But the environmental freakos can overlook wildfires.
Yet they are crying about some cropland that produces corn that is processed into ethanol, and high protein corn feed byproducts.
What a crock of BS.
Dumb move on their part. There are a lot of reasons to be against ethanol. Yet, they always seem to focus on imaginary reasons.
