New study compares growing corn for energy to solar production. It’s no contest.
In fact, it would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generated by one hectare of land covered in solar panels.

A few years ago I tweeting out the math showing a similar conclusion to this study. @chrislhayes.bsky.social retweeted it and it ended up getting 4 million views overall. (My twitter history is no more)
The math checks out.
Growing corn for fuel is peak stupidity in 2025.
