Meanwhile, Willie Nelson is promoting the idea of running cars on recycled vegetable oil. Last year the country singer launched a fuel called BioWillie, a blend of diesel and vegetable oil that he says is more efficient and burns cleaner than conventional diesel. Any diesel engine can run on BioWillie, which is available at gas stations in four Midwestern states. "It's better for the farmer to grow fuel than for us to go around starting wars to get it," says Nelson, who concedes that cars powered by his diesel blend emit fumes that can smell like French fries.

...searches for supplies from Africa to North America, while its diplomats have been drawn into such Great Power debates as the Iranian question, from which they have hitherto tried to keep a distance. Down the line, the new price of oil is going to make all sorts of cleaner energy sources more relatively cost effective than they have been. That is going to lead to the development of industries of which we can today hardly dream, and may yet ameliorate some of the dire consequences of climate change - a topic unmentioned by Bush in his State of the Union address...
...margin of defeat was rail-thin. Out of over 22,000 votes cast, there were just seven more nays than yeas. But short of a recount, the contract is dead-a stark reversal of fortunes for Transport Workers Union president Roger Toussaint. During the strike, the former subway car cleaner survived the wrath of millions of nettled commuters just long enough to win some real concessions from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Toussaint faces possible jail time for the strike, not to mention the millions in fines leveled at the union, but he had managed to preserve pensions and lock...
...BILL SO HIGH? Natural gas used to be consumed mainly by firms making chemicals and other industrial goods. But in recent decades, electric companies, under pressure to pollute less, have embraced natural gas, which burns cleaner than coal or oil. Gas consumption by electric utilities has soared 76% since 1989. But unlike oil, easily transported and traded on global markets, gas poses logistical problems. It can't be shipped unless it's cooled and liquefied. For now, 85% of the gas we use is produced domestically. The rest arrives by pipeline from Canada, except for about 1% imported from such...
...Scooba cleans up to 200 square feet on a single tank of cleaner in an estimated run time of around 45 minutes. Its battery lasts a little longer than that, but only a little, so it's recommended that you charge it whenever it's not in use. If you don't, and let the battery sit too long, it might require a 16-hour re-conditioning charge. It's built for use on tile, linoleum, vinyl, marble, slate or stone, and sealed hardwood. You don't want to use it on unsealed hardwood or stone, or any laminate wood...
