biggest factor is that sugar cane can't be economically cultured except in tropical or sub-tropical climates

Not "economical" - I think I guessed that.

The most power farm lobbies are in the Mid-West.

Not sure what you're getting at here - the disconnect about Mid-West lobbies and the Southern or Hawaiian growers has me confused.

Do the math.

On what - that it's not economical or there's a conspiracy of Big-Agriculture - probably lead by Archer Midland Daniels.

I think I'd rather watch for the breakthrough on how to use the waste products of agriculture not the fruit. A breakthrough would not be restricted to any single region or country as the smaller ethanol plants are today due to startup capital and other "economic" factors.
