Corn ethanol production is killing the coastal Gulf of Mexico
December 18, 2007
Corn requires a lot of nitrogen fertilizer, and that nitrogen is inefficiently used by the corn it’s applied to. So a significant percentage of it ends up in the Mississippi River and ultimately in the Gulf of Mexico. There it’s converted into red tides that die off and leave thousands of square miles of Gulf fishery dead. And so more corn grown for conversion into fuel ethanol means more nitrogen and a larger dead area in the Gulf.
