Recommendation = put all your money into such a great enterprise: <In five years Ethanol will achieve critical mass discussions will be over and it will start, relentlessly, taking its 15% share of world's gas tanks. >

If cellulose could be converted to ethanol at low cost, you might have something, but I can't see just sugar conversion being economic compared with the lakes of oil waiting to be pumped. They are like giant reservoirs of sugar which were filled millions of years ago and all that's required is to pump it into the refinery. Sugar in your system has to have land allocated [no food crops allowed, which hungry poor people might think wasteful and even crimes against humanity], crops planted, harvested, collected into huge stacks, processed into sugar, then ethanol. The oil business just needs to distill crude oil, or at worst squeeze coal, or tar sands.
