A   sugar   cane   farm   currently   can   get   72.5   liters   of   ethanol   per   ton   of   sugar   cane.   For   1  
hectare   (10,000   m2)   you   can   produce   60   tons   of   sugar   cane   (1   acre   =   4047   m2).   The   energy  
content   of   ethanol   is   24   MJ/L   and   density   is   789   kg/m3.   If   the   US   consumes   1.05   x   1020 J   of
