Biofuels don't have to be made from crops. We have an enormous waste

methane and oil, which could then be reused to produce virgin plastic.
Or fuel jet planes.
I seem to recall that Brazil makes a significant amount of ethanol for
vehicle fuels out of the waste from sugar cane crops. Instead of burning
it, they process it into alcohol.
There are certainly cleaner ways to produce biofuels. But the almighty
dollar and government subsidies make the US use corn for making alcohol.
