Just a week after the Florida legislature passed a wide-ranging energy bill that calls for increased use of renewable electricity by Florida utilities, a new report, "On the Rise; Solar Thermal Power and the Fight Against Global Warming," released by Environment Florida finds that America has the potential to meet all of its current electricity needs with large central concentrating solar power plants.

VW's ultra-low emission Jetta BlueTDI will be coming to the US mid-summer, according to an announcement made late last month at the Vienna Motor Symposium.

This newer version of the Jetta will meet the strictest emissions standards in the world--BIN5/LEV2--which are enforced by 5 US states: California, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and Vermont. BIN5/LEV2 standards severely cap nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions (0.05 g/mile), one of the two tailpipe pollutants that have given diesels a bad rap (that and particulate matter).

Biofuels Part I: Corn Ethanol Isn’t the Solution : Sustainablog: May 8, 12:47pm 1 review alternative-energy, transportation, alternative-fuels, biofuel, ethanol
http://sustainablog.org/2008/04/30/biofuels-part-i-corn-ethanol-isnt-the-solu...; From the page: "Who doesn�t want to be green? But beware of automobile ads claiming environmental benefits from home-grown ethanol. Almost all U.S. ethanol comes from corn and, as a fuel, corn just isn�t as �oeamaizing” as they say.

�oeWhat if we could live green by going yellow?” one TV spot asks. �oeWhat if we could lower greenhouse gas emissions,” it continues, promisingly, �oewith a fuel that grew back every year?” Sounds great doesn�t it? Sorry folks, it�s just not so.

With corn ethanol, we are barking up the wrong stalk. This so-called yellow fuel is not green and the rush to it is misguided. The negatives of turning corn into fuel far outweigh the positives. First a little background."
