Resources during a drought

Drought to skyrocket crop prices

In class we have mainly discussed the environment and how we have destroyed it and the effects on lower class people. This article touches upon resources and how we use them. With a the nation moving toward a greener future, crops such as corn are being used in new ways. Corn is now not only a staple to most developing countries and a valuable food here in America, it is also used to create Ethanol which is added to gasoline to help it burn cleaner. Now with this ongoing drought prices are expected to skyrocket. America is luckily insulated from most of the price increases but developing countries are not as fortunate.
