How about water hyacinth for a biomass fuel? It also cleans the water that it grows in...I think of corn as a very nutrient intensive crop. I've also read personal accounts, in Countryside magazine, of persons who actually got 10 mpg less w/ ethanol blended fuel. The technologies are great, but there are also tried and true organic methods, plus farming on a smaller scale, and being more regional and local would also cut down on transportation costs...

You are talking with an agronomist. There is no other crop that can produce food and energy more efficiently for a world population that has passed the brink. fertilizer usage is actually decreasing due to GPS technologies and hybrids producing higher yields with less inputs. I am personally not a huge fan of HFCS, but #2 yellow dent is not the devil either. I personally wish that the US gov't would make it law that all gas and diesel contained oxygenated fuels such as ethanol.

the 200 billion in fossil fuel subsidies that allows for the use of artificial fertiliser to be cost affective

Corn on the brain. If you are concerned about high fructose corn syrup, join a campaign to get cola companies to switch to beet or cane sugars at thepoint[dot]com and search for corn syrup ...I just signed my name. Hopefully this starts the path to better corporate responsibility. Cola companies seem to use cane or beet sugar in countries outside the U.S. Why not in the US?

when I went to rigel 5 they do not have corn there, instead they eat uiop. I think it is better than corn. they do not make it into syrup. uiop can be used as fuel too, but only on the newest vrnaas.

What I don't understand is how it is cost effective to produce w/ petroleum based fertiliser, petroleum fuel burning to heat the stuff for how long?!? And then to add it as an ingredient...oh yeah...Subsidies...

Corn is what is used to fatten up live stock..
