Why can't we do this in hawaii,sugar based ethanol

[Howard]

The problem is not only a lack of leadership, it is also the nature of the population that is different. Every time we have a "gas crisis," people reduce their use of gas, and sales of smaller cars go up. As soon as the "crisis" passes, most people return to their previous behavior. A government which deliberately raised gax taxes to increase the cost per gallon significantly in order to reduce consumption would almost certainly be voted out of office.
