[SEL] Corn-gas a BUST!

[FRM8198 at aol.com]

Why is corn being used to produce ethanol in the USA?  Brazil  uses sugar 
cane.  Sugar beets seem to be the ideal crop for this  process.  The only 
disadvantage in using sugar beets is it will  depress the price of sugar and the 
converting plant must be near the beet  fields.  Sugar beets must be processed 
almost immediately after being  harvested to maintain a high sugar content.  
Harvesting beets doesn't  require an expensive combine.
