Re: [RC] better alternative to Corn for ethanol - Barbara McCrary

Well.........there is Hawaii, but it would take a lot of fossil fuel to ship sugar cane to the main 48 states for refining. Unless there was a refinery on the Hawaiian Is. Can you just imagine the outrage over having an ethanol refinery somewhere on the "Islands?"

P.S. Lud and I were just discussing yesterday, the three most commonly used words nowadays seem to be "worried", "concerned," and "outraged." So many newspaper articles use these words related to something someone wants to do or build, or in relation to conducting business.

Sugar cane is a much better crop of ethanol than just about anything. The problem it requires basically tropical conditions to grow. It doesn't grow well in the US - outside of South Florida. Time to annex Cuba.
