About time too! How about hybrid cars, trucks and buses-put them on the list!

This is a huge opportunity for tropical countries like Brazil.

Solar heating technology makes sense.Instead of wasting time and money on pornographic HEP projects like Belo Monte, Brasilia should back schemes which encourage R&D in small to medium scale regional energy solutions.

For example,companies that produce those cheap but inefficient houehold electric shower heads could prioritise alternative consumer products at an affordable price,government subsidized if necessary.


Just a thought-how would you like to be able to have your energy utility buy back your unused electricity?

Finally you got to read the article of Ruban, eh? The poor fellow has been writing good articles on " Brasilian Constructions" for months and I have been endorsing his ideas which are not exactly new, but...but..but NOT ACCEPTABLE to the "Manda Chuvas" in the energy industries.smilies/wink.gif You of all the people should know it.smilies/cheesy.gif

The quote above is from a Bill McKibben interview with D.Letterman-Bill talks about how Reagan took the solar panels off the White House roof!

In Brazil,like everywhere else,climate change is overtaking the rate at which government is able and willing to respond.Flash floods and drought in the Amazon region,for example.
