I don't believe making ethanol actually uses up many acres. Crops got changed. Land that was used for alfalfa and soybeans got planted to corn.
Ethanol is somewhat of a byproduct. Protein is the product. Distillers grains replace the protein from alfalfa and soy. Corn stalks & low quality hay are used in feed lot rations. Not nearly as much corn silage is used. You need to consider the whole picture, not bits and pieces of it.
Upwards of 10 million acres of solar needed to meet “net zero ??”
