funny I thought the bio engineered aspect of the topic would be more controversial than growing cane.
but a ten fold increase in efficiency converting plant energy to mechanical energy addresses many needs ... this will be an interesting trial run
I am under the impression quite a bit of the power for Maui island was diesel powered .. not sure about the rest of the state ..
I really don't know if cane production would influence the price of staples... .. other than taking some of the pressure away from soy... the mandate to move towards bio diesel is on in either event
