There are FAR more acres currently available and producing biofuels than will be “needed” for applications than can not be replaced by cleaner, more efficient energy systems.

Unfortunately, the current administration is working to stop that. This is preventing inexpensive new energy from coming online when we have rapidly growing demand.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled
The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says
It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

In action: the ridiculously higher “field to wheels” number for SolarEV compared to ethanol in ICE. Ethanol being a net LOSS compared to just using petroleum directly.
Every step of the clean electricity process is dramatically more efficient than the hydrocarbon process.

Additional reminder that for a given land area needed to drive
1 mile in an ICE vehicle fueled by ethanol
you can drive
*_300_* miles in an EV powered by solar

Roughly 30–40% of U.S. corn production — about 30 million acres — is dedicated to ethanol. That same land area could support around 5,000 gigawatts of solar capacity, which is 3–4 times the total nameplate capacity of the entire U.S. electric grid. We don't have a land problem.

Oh yah, it's gonna be great!
But I'm also going out of my way to NOT watch any trailers because modern studio marketing believes that MASSIVE visual spoilers are appropriate. I strongly disagree. I want to see... the things we all know from the book... in the theater, and not before.

Having younger, more dynamic leaders supporting positions aligned with a younger electorate is critical. It's also important to show respect for young people and their views, even if you don't understand or agree with them.
