I'm not Charlie but in my opinion, corn is one of the worst due to competition w/ food consumers. The best option for producing ethanol in my opinion would be Algae, totally renewable and if used in the correct varieties, it grows VERY fast. You can add waste to the mix to keep the nutrients needed to grow it and there-bye dispose of two nasties w/ the same stone.. it's an emerging market but in time it will replace alot of the food variety's currently used.
Remember back in college when we used to try and decide.. gas money or food [or beer]... anytime you have those two competing... it's gonna hurt in the long run..
Just my opinion..

Why is corn the worst and what is the best?
Thanks!
