I do not understand what you are trying to say here.
You did blame ethanol for the fuel needed to ship it.
To ship ethanol anywhere you need fuel. Yes.
To ship gas anywhere you need fuel too.
That's my point. Nothing ships for free.
I never said make ethanol when there is a shortage of food.
I hope everybody is wise enough to turn food stock into ethanol only when that is not needed for food. To keep farms alive. To form a buffer in good times and use that in bad times.
Ethanol can be stored in large tanks for a long time without deterioration.
So don't blame me for high food prices. With proper management ethanol production would indeed lower food prices.
I hope soon ethanol can be produced by converting lignin to glucose, meaning any woodlike plant could be used to produce ethanol. So the chaff of food crops could be put to use, while the remains can still be used as fertilizer.
