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

[Da Stef]

I don't think it's a billion dollar thing. You can produce ethanol in a still in your backyard. Granted you would need much larger equipment to supply to a whole state. But this is easily one of those things that you can start of small on, and as land is converted into sugar cane farms, you could scale.

Since many newer cars can use ethanol already, they could buy when there is and go to the wiki wiki when there isn't.
