Description
Corn ethanol is receiving a tremendous amount of media coverage as the prime candidate for ultimately replacing high-priced and increasingly scarce gasoline supplies. Explore the process of producing ethanol on a vast scale, how it is actually created, and the resources-both monetary and physical-required to make corn ethanol a reality. Discuss the national and global impacts of diverting corn from its traditional role as a food commodity toward ethanol production, and what other energy alternatives might be considered. Presented by Dr. Brad Mogen, Department of Biology
