Ethanol Pros And Cons
Although ethanol has provided our world with many benefits, there are also many drawbacks as well. Because ethanol is manufactured from corn crops, the value of most corn is higher in costs. This drawback plays a role not only in the world of energy but also in the food industry, thus overall impacting our economy. In addition, the corn also requires a large quantity of land in order to produce enough material for the ethanol. Farm land is very scarce and difficult to come by, because of the constant increase in population. However, the need for land involves more drawbacks within itself. The act of farming includes the possibility of harming the environment in ways such as: fertilizer, pesticides, soil erosion, salinity, or deforestation.
