Re: [RC] (RC] Commute - Hybrid Vehicles - Truman PrevattSugar cane does require tropical conditions with a "wet season" FL is probably the only place in the US. However, its cousin Sorghum is able to withstand very dry conditions and can be grown just about anywhere. It was a popular corp when I was a kid on the Western KY/TN border. Every fall you would see the miles turning the presses in the field with the juice running into the cookers. The small was wonderful. The result was a golden nectar similar to molasses. I would expect that sorghum could be used for the production of ethanol. There were some claims back in those days that some of the juice was diverted for the production of moonshine, but as Sgt. Shultz would say, "I know nothing about that." ;-) . Truman Barbara McCrary wrote: I did think about Florida, and you notice I said "not much of anywhere." This allows for some error, and I acknowledge Florida. Anywhere else you can think of in the 48 states? -- “With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
