They also use mostly manual labor in the cane fields, with many people working under what we would consider slave-like conditions. I don't know too many Iowa corn farmers who would rather walk through their corn fields swinging a machete instead of driving a diesel oil-fueled corn picker. If U.S. citizens reduced their energy consumption to the same per-capita level as Brazilians, we could also quickly achieve energy independence. Joanna, please pass this on to my old compadre Monte:
