Ethanol and other bio fuels
by ketan dand on Mar 18, 2008 09:55 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Bio fuels, solar power, wind power are not being harnessed seriously enough by India. This is forcing us to remain slaves of the Gulf and other oil producing countries who have deliberately refused to increase production and keep prices artificially high. India must find a way to reduce our import dependence. Yet our Harvard-educated Finance Minister has still kept the excise duty on hybrid cars higher than those on petrol/ diesel cars!!! Jai Ho Chidambaram ki!! Glory to his Harvard education!

this problem is from USA, GERMANY AND UK. THESE COUNTRIES ARE GETTING COMMISSION FROM FULF COUNTRIES AND THATSWHY THEY ARE NOT FORCING GULF COUNTRIES TO INCREASE PRODUCTION . USA CAN DO ALOT BUT THEIR LEADERS WON'T COMMISSION AND THATSWHY WE ARE IN TROUBLE.

In USA, hybrid cars are tax free. There are many incentives available if you want to buy bybrid. It has been promoted by lot of celebrities also.
So, shut your mouth!!!
