Yes, we can grow sugarcane, my family used to grow it on the farm we've owned for over 100 years and we live in Missouri. There's always sugar beets, too!

1. Yes, they're making ethanol with sugar cane. There are probably a
lot of alternatives, maybe that won't let us continue to drive our same cars or use our same furnaces and whatnot, but there are probably a lot of alternatives. We won't know that though because it's oil families and oil companies that are in control. And they will not let go until the very last dime is squeezed out of the very last drop of oil.

3. Let push surgar cane after all who needs the Everglades.
JEB every year has permitted cane growers to expand their fields, taking away the Glades and causing an increase in polution in the Glades.
