Possibly, if we outlaw recreational land use and turn every corner of this country into farmland where we grow corn…then we might get close. But realistically, not at all. No, corn is not gonna do it. I personally love the idea of E85 being widely available (105 octane, just hafta use a lil’ more of it) but unfortunately, corn does not have enough sugar in it to make it economically viable (costs more to produce the alcohol than it sells for - that’s why it’s subsidized). Sugarcane is the only crop that will generate a payback. Look at Brazil. They are 60% self-sufficient on E85 made from sugarcane. Unfortunately we don’t have the best climate to grow sugarcane (except Hawaii). --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gore-wins-nobel-peace-prize/193001)._
