Corn does not produce as much energy as say sugar cane or sugar beets.
Not to mention corn is directly tied to the food supply, true we eat very little of it. The vast majority of it grown is for feed which covers everything from chickens to pigs. Which raises the prices of everything else.
Then we have this tiny issue that middle America is really not the right spot to be growing vast fields of water loving corn. Look at the underground aquifer and also keep in mind dust bowl statistics. Reality is water is the world real important resource and not oil.
