I've heard about how the creation of biofuel harm certain ecosystems around the world. That's why I still think that solar, hydro and wind energy are the cleanest energies. True.

Additionally, it is a known fact that corn generates gases that kills ozone. As per this article, yes, the demand for corn, in countries such as Brazil, where you can find cars fully powered by Alcohol, is one of the biggest triggers of Deforestation of the Amazon.

I don't want to make false assumptions, but I think these miscalculations are not driven by mere mistake but by self-interests. I think that more and more people should consider it.
