Here’s the quote from Jazz Shaw that’s nonsense:
“ The other factor is the current movement to move away from corn-based ethanol for blending and begin using more advanced biofuels such as renewable diesel, which is made from plant oils or animal fats.
If that’s the direction we’re going, all of the people in Iowa and the other major corn-growing states are suddenly going to take a dim view of the entire biofuel scheme if they’re not the ones cashing in on it anymore, and I’m sure they’ll let Joe Biden know about it.”
Shaw doesn’t know that ‘renewable diesel’ is mostly from soybeans, which are overwhelmingly raised in the Corn Belt, usually on the same farms that raise corn.
