Lots of Sun. I find obscene, warm a driveway to melt snow. No need for heating homes. We had a blackout early 2000. Electricity consumption dropped 30%. Companies after that did not see the consumption go up. We have lots of inefficiencies in our energy matrix still. We are growing with lots of cheap and much more efficient technologies than the Brits and the OECD post war. Just bough a new washing machine. Lula dropped tax on applainces for people to junk the old inefficient ones (and prop the economy) last year. Overall, I see only opportunities.

Ethanol production did not skyrocketed because the market was talking about motor boats not working, lawn mowers clanking, (imagine all cheap stuff Made in China), lack of arithmetic capability of calculating MPG etc etc ad nauseam. Brazil continued planting and producing for themselves only. Neither we worked to make a huge reserve. Why not? Because there are no contracts for long ter delivery. If everything fails, we just hike up the price of ehtanol, drivers start using more gasoline, with the usual 25% ethanol and everything balances. If we face a problem like last year, we correct this year. economictimes.indiatimes.com Now with Shell entering the market, things are going to look really good.
