On it's own, it's nothing exciting. I had to shop for a car earlier in the year and was surprised at the number of flex fuel (blending gas with ethanol) cars on the market. There's also the matter that 45 has wiped corn sales to China, then turned around and reduced domestic sales of the crop to maintain reliance on fossil fuels.
@chalupacabre I ment negative energy balance on ethanol production. To produce ethanol one needs more energy than the one contained in ethanol.

He clearly doesn't take bad news well, but he invites it on so many fronts.
