Why can%26#039;t we (Americans) do like brazil and run all automobiles off homegrown sugarcane based ethonal.? Brazil use absolutely 0 gasoline and has millions of cars. They have no energy problem and booming agriculture. Do we not do this because it would be too easy or do we want to spend all of our money on foreign oil and destroy the planet?

I%26#039;m not sure of all the reasons but its said that corn ethonal is just not working as well as we hoped. But the sugarcane works great. Also while they don%26#039;t have as many cars, they manage with less land to fuel 2 of the biggest cities in the world.

how many cars and trucks are there in Brazil?
also, keep in mind that you can only grow sugar cane in places like S. Florida.
used to grow in Hawaii.
it never freezes there.
it does freeze in Florida.

so, we can%26#039;t grow much at all.
and have lots more cars.

Brazil also has a lot less cars.

You%26#039;d do better to deal with electricity production which is much easier to fix (just dig some more Uranium out of the ground (or dispose of old warheads)).

I have been told that sugar cane does not grow well in most of North America. Sugar beets grow well, so why not use them, though they are not very big? They are as big a cob full of kernals aren%26#039;t they?

i didn%26#039;t know that,

it%26#039;s because the goverments are retarded, here in canada they dont even allow electric cars.....bastards
