I suggest you grab hold of your politicians and make it clear to them that there needs to be alternative biofuels to corn such as switchgrass and even hemp. And let's try utilizing solar, wind, and nuclear (provided we throw out the warmongering pols) technology for electricity and leave the coal alone.

The hydrocarbons in hemp can be processed into a wide range of biomass energy sources, from fuel pellets to liquid fuels and gas. Development of bio-fuels could significantly reduce our consumption of fossil fuels and nuclear power.
