Elroy GM/Ford, the gasoline and state intervention 1) Ford and GM built too big cars. There's no reason why the cars should be that big. 2) Gasoline, you need just to mix 20% of ethanol from Brazil and the porblem would be solved. And the US didn't need to go there to protect the sugar cane plantations. We would buy lots of staff from the US with the mooolah the US would be sending us. (we always do that) 3) The state intervene by helping kick start the ethanol program back in the 70s. We didn't want to send money to the Arabs, the money would be circulating inside Brazil's economy. Gasoline users subsidized the ethanol users. This was 30 years ago. Today the cars have better technology. All gas stations supply ethanol, we are ready. 75% of all cars sold in Brazil is 1.000CC engine. Taxes are lower on those. And it is not only the poor people who buy them. They are crammed wth all the staff you find in bigger cars, half dozend airbags, anti this and anti that so that the rich people buy them.
