Brazilian Renewables
This is pretty damn cool. If only this could happen in the U.S., by far the most consumptive of all the nations of the world.
Sigh.
Wired News: Brazil Schools U.S. on Renewables
"Brazil generates 43.8 percent of its power from renewable energy sources, including hydroelectricity, ethanol and biodiesel, according to Agencia Brasil, a government communications division. By contrast, the United States produced only 6 percent of its power from renewable sources in 2003, according to the Department of Energy's Annual Energy Outlook 2005."

I'm going to start an effort to harness the infinite energy of kittens for common household use. Hey, if it succeeds, it probably won't touch Brazil's output, but it will likely outperform the current US efforts for renewable energy within about a day.
