This sounds idiotic to me, Ethonol blended gas has been used for years in southern states, and others. I fail to see how blending with Ethanol is going to create some horrendous problem in CA when its been used for decades elsewhere.

I am open to someone explaining why California is going to have such a hard time blending Ethanol when its been used for decades elsewhere in the country.

It's a matter of supply. The sudden switch from MTBE to ethanol in California creates a huge demand that the market was not ready for. That's why Gray Davis delayed the switchover from its original date.
