Sugarcane is the next best bet, it’s true.

Full electric needs a lot of development, and if you’re not just using solar/wind energy then you’re probably burning a lot of SOMETHING to get all that electricity. Solar alone isn’t very feasible, and would really only work well in certain parts of the world anyway.

There’s a lot of talk of renewable/alternative energy sources, but for large-scale use they just don’t offer many benefits. Even the good options need so much funding and wide-spread adoption that it’s unlikely they’ll ever happen. I mean ****, we still don’t use the metric system in the US, and people have been pushing that for decades.
