Ethanol from sugar is inevitable. The two questions about it is when and how do we get rid of the high tariff on imported sugar? According to the government accountability office,the two to three times higher price of our sugar, compared to world trade price for sugar, cost the U.S. consumer in excess of 1.9 billion annually. We have the best government that money can buy. Both sides of the aisle use special interest and or lobbyist money to get re-elected. The Democrat majority in Congress and the Senate should have a "National Energy Policy" but doesn't. We know that the big sugar companies have to be included in the energy bill if they lose the 1.9 billion subsidy they get from U.S. consumers. So just come out in the "Sunshine" and give them a share of the profit. Getting rid of the high tariff on sugar would: A. Import sugar beets from Canada, sugar cane from South America and cheap sugar from the rest of the world. B. Increase business in our port, shipping, rail and trucking industries thus raising employment levels. C. Give our farmers more options on crops they raise. D. Cheap sugar could lead to numerous bi-products from scientist and chemical engineers in our large companies. Mr. Jim Cramer, The Ethanol business has become to big to disband it.
