Sugar cane ethanol and Brazil

There’s a piece entitled Why the Promise of Biofuels is a lie by Robert Bryce. It is pretty anti biofuels, mainly ethanol, it doesn’t talk about biodiesel. It is worth looking at for the way it pulls together a couple of sources on the plight of Brazilian sugar cane harvesters. Their lot is pretty hard.

 But there is no need for it to be a model across the sugar cane-to-biofuel project.

In my opining Bryce’s piece could do with looking at fuel economy too… but I am a bit obsessed with that.
