I hear you on the debate over burning food for fuel debate (I am instinctively opposed to the idea). It is said that cane sugar is 8 times more efficient than corn ethanol. The big question is it more efficient that regular fuel (which it is not, as motorists have to fuel up more frequently).
Of course there is the environmental impact. Cane based ethanol has almost no pollutants as emissions. What I find the most interesting is the lack of attention connecting the dots between increased crop production and the inevitable increase in deforestation.
