If we could grow sugar (in the south maybe, I don't know enough about climates vis a vis Farming) and grow less Corn, we could actually rid ourselves of forign oil, that's not going to happen on Corn.

I don't know myself, but you didn't answer any of my questions. If they move off corn for ethanol, what happens to the people growing that corn? What happens the next time Iowa is wiped out? Will there still be Indiana and Ohio corn farmers without an ethanol market? With all the corn produced for ethanol keeping the price down, what happens to the price of all the other corn products if ethanol is removed?

Plus now your solution is going to require growing more sugar (down South or someplace?). So what happens to the stuff that this new sugar production displaces? Obviously the price of something is going to go up, because the land it is using is now going to be used for sugar.

Maybe the corn growers will do what the cassette manufacturers are doing....presumably working at McDonalds?
