Blagojevich & Schwarzenegger to announce energy pact ___________________________________________________________ By Greg Hinz Crain's Chicago Business Jan. 31, 2007 (Crain’s) — Governors Rod Blagojevich of Illinois and Arnold Schwarzenegger of California are scheduled to announce Thursday what’s being billed as an “energy research partnership” involving universities in both states and a major petroleum company. A media advisory issued late Wednesday afternoon said the announcement, set for the University of California at Berkeley, will involve both governors, officials from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and officials from BP, which acquired Chicago-based Amoco several years ago and still maintains substantial operations here. A simultaneous announcement is set for the UIUC. Illinois officials declined to say exactly what will be announced, but BP CEO Lord John Browne last year announced that the company would be spending $500 million for a “dedicated biosciences energy laboratory attached to a major academic centre in the U.S. or U.K. (United Kingdom)” by the end of 2007. A representative for BP's North America operations could not be reached for comment. A spokesman for UIUC declined to provide details of Thursday's announcement. Illinois already is a major producer of corn-generated ethanol, but production could mushroom if scientists are able to devise a means to use the entire corn stalk or other growth, not just corn ears. The UIUC announcement is set for the Institute of Genomic Biology, which conducts research on such matters.
