It is definitely sustainable. I don’t think it is attainable for ethanol to be our only fuel based on how much crop land we would need to run all cars, but it is a better solution for fuel than Porsche doing carbon capture because we already have corn surplus. Seems like using corn for ethanol would reduce the need for subsidies to farmers too.

California just ran on 100% renewable energy, but fossil fuels aren't fading away yet https://www.npr.org/2022/05/07/10973...newable-energy We just need to charge in the middle of the day more and have grid storage. The Rondo brick batteries seem the most ecological.

Yep. That’s what I was saying. We have and need a corn surplus. We created it using subsidies. The extra corn sometimes gets dumped onto the international market, which isn’t good, or it gets destroyed, which is wasteful. If we can use the extra corn for fuel then that can offset the subsidies. It is a flexible commodity.

Get rid of people get rid of the problem (and I don't mean actively get rid of).
I have had a fantasy for decades that a rogue/escaped/mutated pathogen causes 99% infertility in the human population.
