Re: Alternative Fuels

Politics are very related to this. It is the reason the US isn't using more renewable resources. Dems and Rep are both responsible. It's all about money.

Govt needs to get off its butt and encourage alt energy. Cultivating algae for liquid fuel production is another innovation they aren't addressing.

Energy independence is one of the top issues facing many nations. In America, it’s about pollution and Middle East; most of the citizens believe that America is too much dependent on Middle East oil. China, India, Pakistan and others need to solve their energy problems and pollution at the same time.

Renewable energy seems to be the way forward for mankind. It is easy to make, store and consume. Do you see yourself driving a car run on renewable energy? Do you see it taking over oil and diesel as the primary source to run automobiles?

I think solar power is something that would work great in our region, esp in summers.

esp summer

They can run entire Karachi on solar energy for over 9 months, without loadshedding. We need to be more inventive in solving our problems.

It is always funny to hear “If Brazil can do it so can US”. I mean America went to moon, cure diseases and invented light bulb and what we got from Brazil?
** Bikini wax…**

You make that sound as if it’s a bad thing!

Seriously, the only problem with the way Brazil has done this is that they have leveled millions of acres of forest to do it, and that is just as wrong. By they way, any of you budding entrepreneurs have $2 mil sitting around getting dusty, here is a great little company.

For two mil in equity they will build you your own bio diesel plant. Today restaurants have to pay to dispose of used vegetable oil. This little plant takes the waste cooking oil and turns it into high grade diesel fuel. The plants are compact enough that they can be sited easily in industrial parks, and they only take a handful of employees to operate. Really very cool.

Re: Alternative Fuels

CNG does not qualify, as it depletes a natural reserve, and is not 'renewable'.

In that case, BIO GAS

The statement quoted Fedon as saying that the ADB’s assistance will include $ 500 million for renewable energy development, $1.2 billion for power transmission enhancement, $800 million for water irrigation and $250 million for power distribution enhancement.
