Honda touts ethanol advance as huge potential Carmaker and research center announce process using discarded biomass Honda on Thursday announced a major breakthrough in ethanol production, saying it and a research institute had developed a practical way to use discarded plant material to make abundant quantities of the fuel. The process, it said in a statement, “holds enormous potential as a major step forward toward the realization of an energy sustainability society.” Ethanol is a major source of motor fuel in Brazil and is gaining popularity in the United States, but the renewable fuel is produced mainly from sugar cane and corn, raising the issue of balancing supply against the use of the crops as food. msnbc.msn.com

I have long had an idea... You to pull into a "filling" station, pull out your dieing batteries and plug in a fresh pack from the station's charging rack and be back on the road in 10 minutes or less. Your idea is getting closer to reality --- at least in Israel, Denmark, and Hawaii: When customers couldn't wait to "fill up," they'd go to battery exchange stations where they would pull into car-wash-like sheds, and in a few minutes, a hydraulic lift would swap the depleted battery with a fresh one. wired.com .:.
