“Ethanol production uses the starch portion of corn.”

Which is why I would be more in favor of producing Methanol from say garbage or wood chips rather than corn based Ethanol.

But.. the government and the media will not let that ever to happen

why, do you have a problem using starch for ethanol production for some reason?

Learn how ethanol is made, from what it’s made before you form an opinion. Passing on BS generated by purely ignorant people isn’t very becoming.

Thousands of companies and governments around the world are researching new technologies and building hundreds of waste to energy plants.

There are a huge number of byproducts that have already been developed along with the energy production and thousands of labs are working on new products from waste materials.

Soon nearly all of our waste streams will be converted to fuels, and many many other products.

This is world wide in scope.
