ok thanks for clarifying. and it's not that I am against it, but working in a feed store I saw what
happened in Ohio when that all started. The price of corn shot up, followed by a sharp increase in feed prices, due to shortages, which caused meat and dairy prices to go up a lot. Most people did not see that coming. it was an unintended consequence that hit everyone in their pocket books. The very large commercial corn growing farms loved it. The small farmers and the rest of the consumers were shocked and disappointed. Not that it's necessarily bad, but the consequences need to be researched, and not overlooked. Remember that corn is the cheapest calorie source grain for all feeds, and most (not all) feeds are corn based for that reason. Many things that seem like great progress, have effects on other things
