I really like this idea/machine. Only one issue I'd find with it; Even the flex-fuel vehicles have trouble running on pure-ethanol. Especially in the winter, so what are you supposed to do? fill up an 1/8 of your tank with gas, and then pump this stuff in? Wait - you could do that........nevermind
yes, sugar is renewable. from either sugar cane or sugar beets as a primary source, tho you can also get it from palm dates and sugar maple. the kind that is harvested comes from plants...sugar plants, so as long as you have a field to grow them in, it is renewable.
