During World War II, when sugar was rationed, bootleggers used the juice of sweet sorghum to make moonshine. Now researchers are studying ways to boost the plant's potential to brew not booze, but biofuel.
It has been cultivated in the USA for centuries in drier south and south western states to make ''syrup'' if widely used it could double our current ETHANOL production ,bringing it down to South ,South western States,California,Floridaand Hawaii
Of course they have to GENETICALLY ENGINEER them, producing patented varieties that only benefit the big conglomerates. Wow, science research has really sold out, hasn't it? How about using the old fashioned methods and breeding the strains through selective cultivation and releasing those new cold tolerant varieties to the agricultural extension offices? Is that too egalitarian a concept?
