South Ameria has been using bio ethanol as a fuel for a while now, it's cheaper and uses crops, there are projects to bring that to North Amerixa and the rest of the world!
> for average conditions one unit of fossil-fuel energy is required to create 8.3 energy units from the resulting ethanol
It seems they’re in a unique position because sugar cane grows there, is used in industry, and the leftovers that aren’t usable for anything else can be turned into fuel.
I had no idea Brazil has a unique bio ethanol industry, thanks for sharing.
