Ethanol made from sugar cane (not corn) could bring on sustainable $2-2.25 per gallon ethanol for American motorists, this clean-burning renewable could be our salvation from foreign oil. But the self-serving corn ethanol lobby won't let competitive cane ethanol into the country. The protectionist import tariff on ethanol is 54 cents a gallon, and it needs to be dropped to zero right now. Keeping that duty in place is unfair, unpatriotic, and outrageously expensive. Countering the farm lobby body punches with a counter-punch combination of truth and pictures. The pugilistic yet friendly icon, "Sugar Ray Cane" represents abundant and clean sugar cane ethanol that in a fair fight could clean the clock of fat, sluggish, tax payer-subsidized corn-based ethanol that's raising havoc on food prices for the average family. Sugar Ray's manager and alter ego Stan Cotton decided to take on corn ethanol interests despite the fact that the fix is in from farm belt Pols and is hoping that a fearless non-profit will help take up the cause. If the corn vs. cane fight were being refereed, corn would already have three warnings for low blows: 1. Driving up the cost of food as corn is diverted from family tables to make ethanol; 2. Requiring as much energy to distill as it yields; and, 3. Gouging the public by not allowing cane to compete. If it was just greed, that's one thing. Keeping an affordable, clean renewable energy source like cane ethanol out of consumers' gas tanks is unpatriotic. Buying oil from Middle-East enemies without a tariff i "When my client, Sugar Ray Cane Brand Ethanol takes his case to America, Corn will lose at the weigh-in," Cotton said. "For every gallon of ethanol you get from Corn, you get 8.3 gallons from sugar-cane based ethanol." Cotton said that fight fans spoiling for a good fight between powerful corn interests and champions of sensible renewable energy policy can look for Sugar Ray CaneŠ in a series of ads in which the Contender tells the Pretender that the fight "It's on."
