It’s idiotic to change corn to fuel, same for grass…but at least people don’t eat grass

Global warming is a fraud and it takes more energy/costs to change corn/grass to fuel than is gained by the end product.

Switch from corn to grass would raise ethanol output, cut emissions

Switch from corn to grass would raise ethanol output, cut emissions

Growing perennial grasses on the least productive farmland now used for corn ethanol production in the U.S. would result in higher overall corn yields, more ethanol output per acre and better groundwater quality, researchers report in a new study. The switch would also slash emissions of two potent greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.
