Sweet Fuel traces the Brazilian industry's growth from the 1930s to the 2000s. The book examines the political investment and associated environmental and social costs that transformed Brazilian ethanol into a unique solution to the energy crisis of the 1970s and later a global solution to the climate crisis of the twenty-first century
