Corn is like the underdog of oil. Which is such a strange sentence to say.

I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for the Spaniards, the Aztecs would have reached the moon by now using maize fuel.

When you get paid just to produce the thing, it's also nice if you can actually use it for something I guess

No, that's mostly americans.

Sounds great, if it's non-allergenic too it would be a great product.

It all depends if this can be produced in big quantities without it being too expensive.

Did you even read the article? It literally states that this is cheap and abundant.

It does not say how they make it; just because it’s cheap for them to make in small scale is not enough info. Many good things easy to make on a workbench fail to be marketed
