They tested how much you can extract from a system. First with hydro, then with ethanol. They were distlling and the next day were blending. They were not keeping controlling stock. They reasoned: why pay for the stock when we can just sell everything. Afterall, God is Brazilian! :-) Until this year when rain wrecked havoc with thew harvest. Now they have to use the mney they did not spend to stockpile, importing ehtanol from the US. Using the US as their controlling stockpile. But there is a silver lining: The rain that fell raised the dams level to high level. Now they can spin their hydropower plants com gusto, and keep their thermo, (we paid for the thermos because of the blackouts of early 2000s) forced them to build reserve capacity for drier years and they were spinning for all capacity they could sell.
