Re: Sugar plantations St. Kitts (Ethanol)

Dear Jadira,
Please read this very interesting article re Ethanol. It's not (yet) as environmental friendly as you might think.
Vanity Fair - The Ethanol Scam
Brazil started in the 70's through heavy subsidies to get it to compete against fossil fuels in their local market. Only approx. 2 years ago has it reached a stage where they are not dependant on foreign crude. Does St. Kitts have the money to subsidise this project for the next decade(s) to come? Or are the St. Kitts politicians playing the same game as explained in the article? Really it's worth a read.
Scottie
