    I found this on the world news network, a gathering of events that may not have the spin of our nations news. And surprise, it came from my states newspaper no less. Didn't see it anywhere else, anyone catch this?

    A LOT of room for discussion here like "why didn't we do that?" " will a Prius run on pure ethanol ?"

    Mail it to everyone that is running for office?

    Well I"M not moving to Brazil but it is inspiring

    It's a great article, and I'd love to see the US get off of its oilcan and do the same. However, there is one paragraph in the article that is still a barrier, even to launching a simialr campaign now:

    The environmentalists need to quit blocking developing domestic sources. ANWR, the gulf coast, and other "special" sites NEED to be developed if the US were to follow the Brazillian model.
