Corn grows rapidly and causes minimal harm to the environment when combusted
The color of corn is different than the color of gasoline or coal

In the early 2000s, consumer concern regarding antibiotic use at poultry plants began to rival concerns regarding disease. As a result, industry leaders Tyson Foods,
bio fuel effectiveness is determened by the levels of sugars and starch, they are what really ferments. look up "fermentation" on google.
The spelling "biofuel" is correct. You can also use "bio-fuel" or "bio fuel".
Polenta, it's an Italian dish! Cornbread, corn muffins, and cornmeal mush can also be made from ground corn. A non-food use of ground corn is to make ethanol, a biofuel commonly used to power automobiles in the western hemisphere.
While this topic is somewhat controversial, the US depends on the use of corn and soybeans for a major part of its biofuel production. There is major ongoing research to use other biomass sources for biofuel production, but until these are more economically viable, corn and soy will continue to provide a valuable source of the nation's fuel supply. It should be noted that, with modern production practices, there will be no shortage of either crop in the near future, barring a natural disaster. Were there no use of these crops for fuel, the nation would have a huge surplus of both crops.

Growing corn can be bad for the soil (APEX)
Ethanol comes from corn, we all know that. But the problem created by using ethanol as a biofuel is that it puts a greater demand on corn stocks which can and will go to the point where demand is much higher than supply. Corn is also grown as a foodstuff for humans and a feedstuff for livestock. So when you get a demand for ethanol AND a demand for corn as a food and feed, problems like availability for ethanol production become very difficult and more of an ethical and food issue than anything. Only so much corn can be grown every year and corn can be grown only in certain areas, so using ethanol as a biofuel alone is an inconceivable feat in itself. Other biofuels or alternative energy sources for vehicles must be conceived in order for corn to be freed up for use as food.
Research into biofuel could provide valuable alternatives to oil and natural gas.
No. Coal, natural gas, and oil are examples of fossil fuels, as they are the products of organic material that was buried for millions of years. Alcohol is derived from corn, and considered a biofuel.
They use technology to make biofuel.
No. Due to an almost negligible support from the Mexican government, biofuel cannot compete against gasoline or diesel.
