--there is a big difference in cane sugar and corn due to a major ingredient called "sunlight"--
I have heard that Brazil has made numerous offers to supply us with all the alcool as they call it for $1.25 gallon (which is pretty funny cause they charge Brazillians about $6 a gallon at the pump). But, But.... the corn growers need to make $3 a gallon. We could never grow enough corn to compare to all the ethanol Brazil can supply us.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the US farmers and on a small scale try to play one, but they have grown quite addicted to GOV money through the years.
