China's ethanol market expected to double {Autoblog Green}
May 6th 2008 8:42PM 1.5 metric tons = 1900 liters. That sounds like nothing for all of China, but it is too much for a per captia figure.
Auto Alliance: 1.8 million alternative fuel vehicles sold in 2007 {Autoblog Green}
Apr 5th 2008 8:59AM Why pick on the Escalade two-mode hybrid as "not a perfect green ride?"
I'll admit a Volt or a Prius would be "more perfectly green." However the two-mode hybrid is very advanced, and helps commericialize technology that is very "green."
Also, the two-mode saves a *lot* of fuel. If you think in gal/100 mi (like the Europeans do, only with proper English units) the savings is much more apparent that if you look at mpg. The difference between 1 mpg and 2 mpg is huge, but the difference between 49 and 50 mpg is neglegible, but everyone thinks it is "just 1 mpg" regardless.
I would think one of the E85 flex-fuel vehicles would be a much better target for the "not perfectly green alternative fuel vehicle."

Treehugging Hummer? {Autoblog Green}
Mar 24th 2008 2:41PM Hummer drivers are treehuggers too.
*Everyone* loves trees, however some prefer them vertical, others prefer horizontal!
The H2 can be useful to both.
The "vertical people" can use their H2 to go fruther into the woods before they get stuck. Once there, they can enjoy the natural suroundings, and perhaps study the flora and fauna and write up a scientific report.
The "horizontal people" can use the H2 to visit their logging operations in remote locations to supervise their workers.
So, there is nothing suprising about a H2 with "treehugger" plates!
