Get rid of the tax and import them.
Corn based ethanol is not even energy neutral. You get less energy than you used to produce it.
I agree, I was just saying the sugar lobby is the reason we don't import cane sugar.
And you are incorrect - Corn based ethanol does not take more energy to make than it contains. We've been over this time and time again - it's an incorrect claim.
I find it totally amazing that people continue to make that claim.
