Sugar ethanol is another political boondoggle. The sugar growers are
planning ahead to when they will be jumping from the sugar price
protection wagon to the ethanol subsidy wagon. One of these days the US
Government will stop protecting US sugar growers and the price of sugar
will drop dramatically.

I read a recent article about this (I believe it was in a trade
journal). It may be that the key is in using sugar cane instead of
corn. The article stated that Brazil can produce a barrel of ethanol
for $25.
