Drink the best and drive the rest

Article Abstract:

Brazil's bioethanol industry has flourished over the past few years due to ever increasing petrol prices and modified flex-fuel cars which could sense different mixtures of petrol and ethanol and adjust their workings accordingly. The tropical sun in Brazil conducive to grow sugar cane has made it the largest sugar cane producer in the world and ethanol manufactured from sugar cane is used for powering cars since the 1930s and supports more than a million jobs.

There goes Texas

Article Abstract:

A proposed buy-out of TXU, Texas's largest electrical utility, has won the endorsement of two leading environmental groups of the United States. It has been possible only after the likely buyer has addressed the problem of carbon emissions by pledging to abandon eight of the 11coal-fired power stations earlier planned, and commit itself to reducing carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
