Ethanol does not make much difference to liquid fuel output, but it does make a difference to grain output......
Production of biofuels is suspected of having contributed to the food shortage.....
This does not mean that if ethanol had not been used as fuel, more cereals would have been produced. But if it had not, US grain exports would have been larger, and grain prices lower. In this sense, the entry of fuel ethanol has contributed to the high food prices.

One of the most overlooked energy-saving tools in the work place is the light switch. Lighting accounts for 30 to 50% of a building's energy use, or about 17% of total annual US electricity consumption.
