Please remember that there are lots of Petro Industry dollars being
spent to discredit the biofuel production. Please reread the recent
Yale paper that put the above number in a place I hope you will
remember when you adopt any new standard for "low" carbon.

The following is only related to corn ethanol but for now that is
the largest sector to consider:

There is zero displacement of food acreage by fuel acreage. And
the average person is overweight. Corn ethanol for example is also
feed and food, not just fuel. Only the starch in feed corn goes to
ethanol, which cattle and dairy cows have difficulty digesting. The
byproduct of corn ethanol, high protein distillers grains is a
better feed product than the whole corn itself. It’s what you call
a value-added product. This corn ethanol byproduct supplements a
large livestock, dairy, poultry, and fish farming industry.
