This one is especially for Miguel:
I was watching a show on the history channel about sugar, of all things, and they showed how the Brazilians were using a large part of their sugar crop to produce alcohol fuel and their automotive industry has developed some innovative "flex fuel" engines that allow an automobile engine to burn either alcohol, gasoline or a mix of the two. The engine computer adjusts the fuel-air mix and the ignition to compensate.
I say BRAVO!! to them. I appears that we may be looking to Brazil for guidance in developing bio-fuel engines. In this country, the real innovators have to live in fear of their lives if they come up with something that seriously challenges the petrochemical industry.
