Corn to Power Airplanes? Biden Administration Sets a High Bar
Producers of biofuels like ethanol, which could help create a new generation of jet fuel, would have to overhaul their practices to receive tax credits.

So we're going to give food to planes instead of hungry people. does this guy know it's an election year?
We're actually giving about half the US corn crop to cars already. The other half goes to animals, with a rounding error going to people.
I also recommend reading the article: the policy makes it difficult to get a subsidy to convert corn into jet-a fuel
I saw the part about it being hard to get the subsidy. Sounds like it's happening anyway.
Actually we give corn to animals you can then later eat. If we actually start eating what we instead inefficently feed into animal farming, we could feed twice as many people as exist and still have left overs for creating fuels.
