Biofuels are sources of energy which come from living, renewable sources, such as crops, trees and even animal manure. Fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal, on the other hand, come from the earth from decaying vegetation many millions of years ago, and cannot be renewed. In recent years biofuels have come to mean fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel which can be burned in engines to drive vehicles in place of fossil fuels like petroleum and diesel. Ethanol can be made from a variety of crops, such as maize or sugarcane, while biodiesel is often made from palm oil, soya or rapeseed (canola). As the price of oil has soared in the past few years and biofuel production methods have improved, the price gap has narrowed considerably although levels of subsidy are an important part of the economic equation. Biofuels have also been promoted as a way of reducing carbon emissions and so of tackling global climate change. Over forty countries now offer some sort of subsidy to encourage the production and use of biofuels instead of fossil fuels.

On 4/28/06 Bush said:"I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."Adam Kidron, the British-born producer behind Nuestro Himno (Our Hymn) said it was not his intention "to usurp anything.""I wanted to show my thanks to these people who buy my records, and listen to the music we release, and do the jobs I don't want to do," said Kidron, who has been a U.S. resident for 16 years. srcWhat do you all think of this? Is it okay, is it disrespectful, patriotic?
