The growing use of corn-basex ethanol as a strategy toreducre America’s dependence on foreignn oil has taken a beatinfg in recent months, drawing criticism for contributing to risinb food prices. Three billion bushels of corn were used to produce ethanoplast year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculturer , triple the corn dedicated to ethanol just fiveyearsw earlier.
