I grew up in the cane fields of southeast Louisiana, my family owned a sugar plantation, and my dad worked at the sugar mill just about all his adult life, so I know what you're talking about. And now, I work for a major oil company, so I can say you are spot-on about the use of bagasse (the pulp from the sugarcane stalk after the juice is squeezed out).
Brazil is already there with sugarcane, but take a look at what biofuels are doing to the Amazon rain forest...it's being clear-cut and burned for crop expansion. Even some of the experts who, five years ago, were saying that biofuels is where we HAVE to go, are now admitting their studies were flawed. The overall effect that biofuels is having on the environment, atmosphere, and global warming is severely worse than conventional oil production and refining. That phucking bitch Hillary needs to update her note cards, cuz she don't know $hit.
