I welcome a rational discussion of these important issues
so thank you---

sugar cane is mostly grown in tropical marshlands like FLA or Louisana. sugar cane grows very quickly so you can produce a lot per acre.

to run the factories to distill they burn the fiberous part of sugar cane called bagasse

this is from wiki--

Bagasse burning is environmentally friendly compared to other fuels like oil and coal. Its ash content is only 2.5% (against 30-50% of coal), and it contains no sulfur. Since it burns at relatively low temperatures, it produces little nitrous oxides.

another issue we SHOULD be importing ethanol from brazil -- but we currently have a huge tariff on ethanol imports from brazil so they are not economically fesiable -- it is insane --- the ONLY reason for this tariff is -- wow like magic!! --our agri corporation lobby.
