Sugar Ethanol 1ACTournament: Grapevine | Round: 1 | Opponent: Bishop Guertin TS | Judge: Mahoney Contention 1: InherencyCuban sugar based ethanol is essential — it’s the best solution for a transition away from oil-based fuel dependence—allowing access to the U.S. market is keySpecht 13 "The United States of America cannot afford to bet our long-term prosperity Plan TextThe United States federal government should authorize the licensing of American companies to participate in the development of Cuba’s sugar ethanol industry and allow Cuban sugar ethanol imports.
