kathleen, don't take this personal like, but your info on the use of ethanol in brazil is pathetic.
brazil has six million + vehicles on the road running on pure ethanol, including seven hundred thousand trucks and farm tractors, and twelve thousand buses. brazil is the world's only country with an ongoing, successful, efficient, cost effective ethanol program. they started in 1987, and never looked back. all, repeat ALL, brazilian gasoline presently has 22 % anhydrous ethanol added to it. it used to be 24 % but they had to cut back because of last year's drought, to 20 %, and are now climbing back to historical levels. i find this impressive, considering brazil is amongst the world's ten largest economies. the us efforts by comparison are a sad joke. and all of this info is web available. your article gives the impression that ethanol fuels are 'just around the corner'. this is not so. ethanol fuels are a reality, in brazil, today. not bothering to seriously research this is somewhat provincial, wouldn't you say ? there is life, believe it or not, south of the pecos. cheers, dick carlstein [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address.
