Using hundreds of thousands of acres of food lands to grow corn to produce ethanol is a weak and ineffective climate solution. We can produce far more energy by using some of these lands for solar instead.

With the switch to EVs accelerating, blending ethanol with gasoline is rapidly becoming an outdated climate solution. Solar combined with EVs can produce so much more useful energy that it would take less than 2% of the acres currently used to grow corn for vehicles, for solar to power the same number of vehicles.

In other words, we can better blend food growing and energy production on these valuable lands by shifting some acres from ethanol to solar.

Tell Ontario’s Ministers of Energy and Agriculture (and the Opposition Agriculture critics) that more solar is what we need. >>
