From a heads-up by Gabriel Pagán, what the hell is Bill Clinton talking about?
1) We have no sugar cane industry anymore, and if We tried to bring it back, We'd have much less land for it than required for a strong ethanol production level.
2) Even if We did, the laws he once chaired required Us to sell the raw cane to the U.S. of part of A. at barely above cost for refinement and We bought back the finished product at barely below market rates. Unless Congress allowed Us to refine the raw cane here for local use or refine for export sales, all We'd be doing is giving the U.S. Our efforts in exchange for a paltry discount on fuel purchases.
3) Kudos for placing the onus on Us to do it with the suggestion that if We could, then hell, anybody could do it. Nothing like a backhanded compliment to get the ol' juices flowing.
