This is crap. The EPA requires oxygenates in but TWO critical air basins, and CARB has mandated a 15% oxygenate formula statewide (they only need about 6%, no oxygenate is really necessary). The model proposed here assumes that CARB will be stupid enough to require 15% ethanol in all California gasoline, which is of course, entirely likely. The hidden fact here is the amount of natural gas that will be freed up for electricity production should MTBE be banned. Given that the State is critically short of pipeline capacity with which to import natural gas, that change to ethanol might significantly reduce California's total cost of energy.
