[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 419783, member: 1604"] Cane makes more ethanol than corn per acre. Plus........ Brazil HAS an extra gazillion acres. ************************************** Paul Krugman has it partly right. He points to the absurdity of thinking ethanol will solve our driving fuel problems "There is a place for ethanol in the world’s energy future — but that place is in the tropics. Brazil has managed to replace a lot of its gasoline consumption with ethanol. But Brazil’s ethanol comes from sugar cane. In the United States, ethanol comes overwhelmingly from corn, a much less suitable raw material. In fact, corn is such a poor source of ethanol that researchers at the University of Minnesota estimate that converting the entire U.S. corn crop — the sum of all our ears — into ethanol would replace only 12 percent of our gasoline consumption."
