You apparently are wholly unaware that Brazilian ethanol cannot be imported into the US (because of a huge import duty).

I believe we turned it away for 55 cents a gallon in 2003. I'm not sure we will do that again. The objectors would be ADM, not the oil companies. If it gets out that we are protecting ADM and pushing ethanol use, and then turn down Brazil, it will be another UAE port type scandal.
Free trade is supposed to be FREE TRADE.

"..Brazilian ethanol cannot be imported into the US.."Soon, pard, soon.
Look for FTAA (my earlier post said CAFTA, my bad.)to erase all import tarifs on ethanol from Brazil.
Still, CAFTA will get us sugar, and possibly ethanol from Central American countries sooner, and with no duty.
Just a matter of time until FTAA is passed.
