I just located the text of the 2005 energy bill -- I think a lot of the improvements you mention would qualify for a tax credit in the US, after 12/31/05. frwebgate.access.gpo.gov But I am having a hard time reading it, even though I am a lawyer.

BTW - we have a fiberglass insulation in the walls, double glazed windows, weather-stripping and piles of insulation in the attic. This house stays extremely pleasant year round. Such a nice change from other houses I've lived in with no insulation whatsoever. But when it gets cold I am going to have someone come out with infrared equipment to see whether we can improve matters. And when we replace our siding, I will have them put on a Tyvek wrap underneath.

Hi El Matador, I read that 50% of buyers of new cars in Brazil are buying the kind that can switch to burning pure alcohol from burning pure gasoline. I wonder about the other 50%. I wonder why they don't want to burn alcohol. 1. Is the switchable car more expensive? 2. Are they emotionally tied to a brand of car which cannot switch to alcohol, as desired? 3. Is it sometimes difficult to buy alcohol on the road? I figure if alcohol is not overwhelmingly popular in Brazil where it is the world's cheapest, then maybe it doesn't have such a bright future elsewhere, that is until oil goes to 80-100 a barrel, which will be a long while.
