You can also scour the ground for pennies just in case you run out of money, too. It’ll technically bring in more money than you had before.
You could also keep a stash of aluminum cans to turn in for money as well in case you run out of money.
But the amounts of help these things would do is so incredibly minimal that there are much better uses of your time.
Yes. Technically. Growing less than one percent of the land we grow for ethanol corn would mean that extra less than one percent of corn we really don’t want to eat JUST IN CASE we needed that last tiny bit.
We could also easily open far more than that in farmland and grow other crops that are more edible first.
But yes, technically, we could grow food we neither want nor need.
We do not fucking need that land for food. There is no shortage of food. Nobody is fucking starving due to a lack of food. There is a lack of distribution, yes. But not a fucking lack of food.
Furthermore, converting 250k acres of that corn that we are NOT FUCKING EATING BECAUSE IT IS BEING USED FOR ETHANOL into solar that powers cars instead would ALLOW US TO GAIN ALMOST 30,000,000 ACRES OF LAND TO GROW FOOD.
Food that we do not fucking need in the first place.
Others have pointed out that it can be eaten as staple food.
Land doesn’t help if there is no food.
A reserve is for out of ordinary situations.

Are you happy now?
I am sorry but I am not happy.
It was 30%.It could be used otherwise if we used elecrric cars but that wouldn’t create food security.
Well, not starving to death is a reasonable cause to do something.
Then there is other surplus food that has to be thrown away, or also be turned into ethanol.
For food it’s worth having a surplus. The bad part is that food is turned into ethanol while people starve to death.

Have a nice day. I’m done. Goodbye.
