There was also no mention of the astronomical amounts of water that the current process requires.

Here in the Midwest, we are already having problems finding enough water to meet the current levels of production. We have been having relatively wet growing seasons here, in the last 5 years, but if there were any drought of any kind here, production would fall off drastically.

Corn also takes huge amounts of water to grow, usually requiring additional irrigation to ensure a stable crop. This, as well as the production requirements, water is the biggest issue.
