Very good, but you only did half the work for a reasonable comparison. Now figure up the costs for solar panel production, installation, operation, and disposal, and compare them.
> How much CO2 is released producing, shipping, and installing the solar panels?
Or maybe you wanted someone else list all the steps.
I was simply helping you with the part you missed:
> GP is right: you gotta consider all the variables
The fact you seemingly missed the fact that growing and processing corn keeps emitting GHG (not only co2), and that producing, transporting and installing the solar panels costs *once*.
I already mentioned the video that covers this specific relationship and details, the actual costs and benefits of growing corn for ethanol vs generating electricity: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9nt2ZeGM
