Brazil only uses biodesiel for 20% of their fuel, and someone said they have about a 10,000 dollar tax on cars per year. It would take almost all our farmland in the US to convert to Biodeseil. Its not worth it.

Popular science claimed at 10 cents a KWatt*hour an electric car only costs 2 cents a mile for propulsion. So I say we fund the hell out of batteries and capacitor research and build dozens of new nuclear power plants. 100% clean fuel, no impact on the environment, and cheap.

Brazil uses ethanol. And there are few Brazilians that could afford a ten thousand dollar tax.
