There Are Alternatives That Produce Ethanol
By Mr Ethanol | May 2, 2008
The News Journal:
Why are we using an important food source of humans and animals to produce ethanol? It appears we ignore history or are not aware that Brazil, the world’s largest producer of ethanol, ferments sugar cane to produce this fuel.
Was Midwestern corn chosen because of politics? Corn does not represent a sustainable source to dilute the nation’s oil appetite.
The United States has two states which grow sugar cane, Florida and Louisiana, as well as Puerto Rico. Many Caribbean nations grow sugar cane.
Caribbean ethanol shipped in tankers represent a short distance and lower cost than oil from Mideast sources.
