I doubt we could grow sugar cane much of anywhere in the USA except for 
Hawaii, since it is a tropical crop.  And the little we could grow would not 
supply the nation's needs.  Americans are unwilling to give up driving cars, 
regardless of what they use for fuel.  We couldn't even go back to horses 
and buggies, because I'd bet we couldn't grow enough hay to feed the 
necessary number of horses.  And can you imagine the FUSS most people would 
make over manure, flies, smell, etc. on city streets?  Oh migosh, what a 
fuss.  So....we have cars, and we won't give them up, so where do we go from 
here??  All I know is that we had better figure out something, because we 
are mortgaging our souls to the mid-east countries for oil.  That's more 
dangerous than I want to think about.

My not-so-humble opinion....
