re: Wind Power Production Drops Despite 6.2GW of Added Capacity

-First, we grow corn just for fuel consumption
-to grow the corn it requires pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer
-these substances and their components are made in industrial complexes that emit gases and pollute to some extent
-it requires a lot of heavy machinery that uses traditional fuels like diesel that also pollute
-all to make a fuel additive that is grossly inefficient compared to gasoline so we have to burn more of it to get the same power output.

so the net benefit is a wash at best.
