America Was Wrong About Ethanol - Study Shows, by Engineering Explained

I wanted to add this to my last Engineering Explained thread, but that went sideways, so we're starting over!
Corn-based ethanol bad. We actually should be making it from switchgrass.

Here is the most-popular video about growing switchgrass for ethanol. They say that you can plant it, harvest it [multiple times] each year, and the crop should last decades without irrigation, fertilizing, or reseeding.
That does sound better than corn!
