Brazil: Sugar Heaven!

Good Morning!
I was watching a great series last night on CNN: "We Were Warned: Out of Gas". It was fascinating-looking into the future when we may just run out of gas. We are all talking about it, but they really looked into the scary reality of the situation. What would we do? How would we get our food? How would we travel? How would we function as a society? What are some realistic alternatives?
One place that wont really be effected is Brazil. They have created a real solution. It is working now. It isn't an abstract idea or something that MAY work in future. It is working. They grow million of acres sugarcane and half of it gets made into sugar and the other half into ethanol. 40% of transportation fuel in Brazil is Ethanol. Within the next year, Brazil will not need to import any oil. That's it. That is truly amazing.

And your car will smell like Molasses! Yum!
Why isn't the U.S. catching on, yet??
We will.
Soon.
Hopefully, soon enough.
Drive Sweet!
