The world dedicates a Poland-sized area of land to liquid biofuels. Is there a more efficient way to generate energy?

Besides we can still use that same land for crops with agrivoltaics

    Also apparently the vast majority of corn grown is for ethanol, and it takes thousands of gallons of water for every gallon of corn ethanol produced.

      Yup. Corn production in the US uses 8 times more water annually than all AI data centers on the entire planet.
