Concern in America over a looming oil crisis has intensified interest in different energy sources, in particular bio-fuels.
Ethanol – a fuel produced from crops rather than oil – is experiencing an unprecedented boom. In Brazil, most cars run either purely on ethanol or on a “gasohol” mixture with fossil fuels.
According to one poll, 78 per cent of Americans support increasing the use of ethanol in the US, where it has mainly been extracted only from corn.
Now the Department of Energy and industrial partners are working to extract ethanol from the most common organic compound on earth, cellulose, which is found in common vegetation.
Switchgrass, which grows up to 12ft tall, is one example of a crop that could produce bio-fuel. Fossil fuels take carbon from the ground and release it into the atmosphere as the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. But, as a plant, switchgrass will not add to greenhouse gases when used as fuel.
Among a string of new alternative energy ventures, officials in Texas have announced plans for America’s largest off-shore wind farm. To the north, Canada is helping Shell explore an alternative fuel in oil sand.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
