- is sugar based ethanol really a viable fule alternative?

not to make this an ethanol thread with all the political stuff that goes with it, but my general impression is that brazil has had a lot more success with its sugar-ethanol than we have with our corn-ethanol. supposedly it's more efficient in the absense of farm policy, but in light of corn and corn-ethanol subsidies, and sugar price supports and tariffs + a ban on sugar ethanol importing, we're not likely to see sugar ethanol here soon.
