One point on ethanol production in the US. The left over mash from producing the ethanol goes into livestock feed. So it is not as though the corn used in the process goes completely out of the food sector.

@valcan321 Before I finally retired I worked for a company that builds and services industrial centrifuges. Primarily the waste water (ie sewage treatment plants) and other users to dewater the end product so the water can go through the final treatment. One of the users is the ethanol industry. Extremely hard on the machines due to high heat and humidity. When I was working I did far more for the environment than 99.9% of all the "activists". We here about how ethanol is a net energy loser. What a bbn out petroleum with all the heating and processing they have to do to seperate out all the different petroleum products.

A political note. As we face an extremely bad potential food shortage worldwide we have certain segments of society attempting to drastically reduce or eliminate certain fertilizers etc. Often with good environmental reasons due to over application and usage.
