Don't forget that sugar beets are highly subsidesd in France and Germany.
One of the great reasons why Sugar Cane products are so cheap is because a sugar cane mill is completely self suffcient. The fibre extracted from the cane is used to run boilers which in turn steam power most of the equipment in the plant. The left over steam is used to make electricity to run the office and rest of the equipment.
Not only that but also the wax that comes off the cane is used as a fertilizer.
Right cause hybrids are SOOO effcient. I bet that if you take out all the weight those batteries and electrical engine in the prius you could actually get BETTER gas mileage on the gas alone.
Toyota claims that they get 45 mpg on their hybrid. Well guess what.... so does a Golf TDI and it costs way cheaper than that prius.
Google is a business. They are out to make, yep you guessed it, money. More over -- it is a public business, thereby its owned by serveral hundreds of people. Guess what these people want from their company?
This is the capitalist system. It creates a need, and this need is filled by shiny MBAs who get paid very handsomely for what they do -- make money.
