A Northwestern University Medill Report quotes Soil and Water Conservation Executive Director Craig Cox: “Evidence is pretty clear that corn-based ethanol is not the future.”

The report discusses concerns over the production of biofuels and related mandates and incentives. The report states that "Craig Cox would also prefer to see more money and attention paid to conservation to alleviate over-use of land."
