Andy,

I know the GM has been working VERY hard to diversify products. I have a few suggestions. I ran some detailed numbers, but I found ways we could remove or mix products that would offer number benefits to the global econ game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

***Gasoline- Reduce the amount of oil needed from 600,000 units monthly to 550,000 per corp and replace it with the need of 100,000 units of corn(this simulates biofuels). 1 unit of oil = 2 units of corn
***Aircraft Fuel - Reduce the amount of oil needed from 400,000 units monthly to 375,000 per corp and replace it with the need of 50,000 units of corn(this simulates biofuels). 1 unit of oil = 2 units of corn

The reduction of fuel would remove the need for 92.5 million units monthly of oil and replace it the demand for 185 million units of corn (numbers based on 1400 gasoline corps

Perhaps as an alternative to your gasoline/oil idea the formation of a new corp Ethanol.
It can be used to reduce the oil consumption in Gasoline and use Corn, Wheat, Fruit, Rice and Sugar. Ethanol could also supply Chemicals, Household Products, Medical Supplies and Pharmaceutical Products.

An idea I've been thinking about is the Mining sector.
Mercury production and consumption is not realistic. It is a low demand/high production product that the GM has been working on. Silver is also a weak product which has been added to the supplies of some corps.
My thought is to use the strength of Gold and Platinum to boost Mercury and Silver.
Combined them all into a corp called Precious Metals with the output around the average of the 4. This could provide supplies to wherever they are used now.
