Uh, I have a question. United States uses 25% (as far as that chart, right) and Australia uses 1%.
Isn't Australia a continent?? THE U.S. is a country. You mean, we as a country, consume more than the entire continent of Australia??? The mind boggles.

Population has some significance; whether we are a continent or a country makes no difference. Australia has a population of approx. 20.4 million. The U.S. population is more than 14 times that, at 301.1 million. ~ Faith

In mid-May on CNN I watched part of a documentary about the cars in Brazil. They are hybrids using sugar cane. Brazil is no longer oil dependent. And the environment benefits are huge.
It may not help the dying breed of newspaper and I will be forced to use the computer. I will miss my routine. I just do not understand why we USA people do not know about the alternative fuels of a third world country!! I watched "Amazing Race" last year, one of the stops was making fuel from sugar cane. A winning couple won electric cars. I could keep my newspaper, recycle it for use again. People could make a living delivering things. |
