I saw an add from one of the major oil companies that said that they were going to use aclohol from Brazil. This alcohol is made from sugar cane which is much more practical for alcohol production than corn but does take away from the "energy indipendance" argument for E-10.

No problem, Brazil has been cutting down their rain forests to plant corn and sugar cain to create Ethanol. They will be able to make as much as we need. We purchase more from them than generate in our country. We "outsourced" the process. Brilliant political move!!!! NOT
