re: It is said in articles I have read that oil below $60 makes it more difficult for alternative energy sources to pencil out. I don't know how true that is........just an observation.

The decision is political as well as economic. From the economics perspective, both oil and alternatives get subsidies... I'm not sure of the balance.

re: A second observation is that ethanol over time screws up the engine....clogs the valves? Have you heard anything along those lines?

No. But if true I'm sure it's not a drop dead issue. And plug in hybrid with ethanol capability is probably the future.

re: Finally, I find it remarkable the renaissance underway in Brazil.

Most of SA and CA is undergoing dramatic change. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. The world seems to be at a tipping point... not exactly good for us as we are/were the top dog. There is only one way to go... and it's not up.
