Substitute alcohol fuel

Hi all: I have heard that using corn for alcohol fuel is making food prices go higher. In the desert there is lots of open land that will not support normal food crops. Why not cultivate native plants. Native plants are drought, insect and disease resistant. Plants like Agave, prickly pear and Joshua trees can be fermented and distilled to make alcohol fuel.The materal left over could be burned to produce steam for electricty. Waste water from desert cities could be
used to irrigate the native crops. Oil is a finite resource. We may be running out of it more rapidly then We are told.
