California eyeing Brazilian -- not Midwestern -- ethanol
Kevin Diaz / Star Tribune

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- California once seemed on the verge of becoming a billion-dollar market for Midwestern corn ethanol.

But in a fit of political pique, the state is now threatening to take its business to Brazil. California officials are eyeing Brazil's huge sugarcane crop as an ethanol source at least in part as a payback to Midwestern corn interests, which pushed hard to force open the California market.

In talks that have reverberated throughout Congress and to ethanol plants across Minnesota and the Midwest, the Brazilian exporters have been meeting in recent weeks with the administration of California Gov. Gray Davis and oil-industry buyers.

Jeff,
re > I fear for any pond maker from the deserts of AZ or ground
irrigator's from the deserts of CA trying to tap the Great Lakes. They are already at
low levels and it would probably not set well with us locals.<

Expect to see a full demonstration of the 2nd Amendment if they come sniffing around here looking for water. ggg
