Rock, I agree with all that you state. I'm wondering if the ethanol initative makes growing sugar cane a viable commodity crop in the US. Just think, with a little bit of bioengineering someone could likely merge corn stalks with sugar cane genetic material making the process a whole lot more cost effective. Talk about "sweet corn"! Exactly the reason that I am upbeat on the longer term economics and viability of the technology. If the stalks can be utilized as both a sugar source and later as a fuel supply then the whole process becomes very economically feasible.
