]]> there is a big debate over corn ethanol. it is renewable, and makes america less dependent on foreign oil, but how does increasing corn production affect the environment? with a lot of carbon emissions in ethanol production and a lack of water in the high plains region, corn ethanol might not be as environmentally as you might think. so, where does that leave us in the fight against fossil fuels?

]]> about 100 feet below eight states in the high plains region lies a massive amount of fresh water. the ogallala aquifer is larger than the state of california and the life source for farming in the region. when there isn’t enough rainwater, farmers pump water out of the ground from the aquifer to irrigate their crops however, the aquifer is being depleted faster than rainwater can refill it. if irrigation practices continue, the aquifer could run dry. in an effort to save the aquifer, farmers turn to technology to make their farming more efficient.
