<Brazil and the United States together can control the world market for biofuels> ElM, it always amuses me when people talk about "controlling markets" or "controlling customers". Do you mean that New Zealand or other countries can't produce biofuels? Which is a silly idea. What is this obsession with control? Customers of course like to do what they like and that's a good thing. Markets by definition do what they like and that's a good thing. When governments or other thugs control markets, then they are no longer markets. When customers are controlled, they are living in the USSR or China. The psychology behind wanting to control customers is a sick one no better than Saddam's control of Iraq. The best control of customers is when they look around at other options and decide that it's a waste of time looking for something better than what they have. Mqurice
