cane ethanol is definitely a viable option. The main point is to find something that doesn't involve radical rethinking of the way our cars work and the way we refuel them. If oil companies see that they can make a big profit off of alternative fuels without the $1 trillion infrastructure cost, they will be much quicker to jump on the bandwagonThat is true. I like the sugar cane idea that Brazil is using, they have thousands of acres of sugar cane which turns into ethanol and they use the steam that burning the sugar cane produces to fuel the machines to burn it(hope that makes sense), that to me is just awesome. I like the methanol idea as well I've read some stuff on that too and it also seems very cost effective. I do agree that using corn is not as cost effective as using another source(such as sugar cane) could be.
