We're actually giving about half the US corn crop to cars already. The other half goes to animals, with a rounding error going to people.

I also recommend reading the article: the policy makes it difficult to get a subsidy to convert corn into jet-a fuel

I saw the part about it being hard to get the subsidy. Sounds like it's happening anyway.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
