Switch Grass As A Possible Alternative Fuel
The answer to all of America's energy and oil needs might be as simple as a grass, switch grass to be exact. Switch grass is an amazingly easy to produce grass that can be converted to ethanol. Ethanol holds lots of promise as an alternative to gasoline.
Used Hybrid Cars
Since hybrid cars are slowly becoming all the rage for those who are seeking to promote energy independence, it should come as no surprises that deal minded individuals are looking to purchase used hybrid cars. Of course, used cars have their positive and negatives and associated risks. When it comes to purchasing used hybrid cars ? or any cars for that matter ? there are instances when purchasing a used can be quite a deal. In other instances, purchasing used cars can be a complete disaster. Ultimately, the positives or negatives associated with purchasing used hybrid cars will b based upon the prior owner of the car and the actual condition of the car.

How To Make Biodiesel To Save The Environment And Your Wallet
It is a rare night that the evening news is not telling viewers about a new horrible effect that pollution is having on people, animals, and the environment. From cancer to acid rain and famine to smog, the culprit to blame is fossil fuels. Would it not be great if there was a viable, clean alternative fuel? There is. By learning how to make biodiesel fuel, people can provide themselves with all the energy they require and not harm the environment or their health.
New Technology With Hybrid Cars
Hybrid cars are gaining more and more popularity in recent months, with much positive publicity regarding their fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. At a time when many folks are suffering from acute sticker shock every time they have to fill their gas tanks, a solution to this dilemma will be a welcome one indeed. Hybrid cars may indeed be the solution that everyone is searching for. But what are these new-fangled vehicles, and how do hybrid cars work? When you hear the answers to these questions, you may agree that this new creation may be the wave of the future.
Top 3 Hybrid Cars
I believe there are three main hybrid cars out there that are the best of the best. The Honda Civic hybrid, Honda Insight, and Toyota Prius are the three main hybrids leading the market to date.
Marketing Hybrid Cars
Whenever a new product comes on the market, the public must be convinced that this is a product that they cannot live without. The benefits and advantages of the new versus the old must be compelling if you are going to convince shoppers to switch to new fangled brands and items. This is most definitely the case when it comes to marketing hybrid cars. When such a new technology becomes available for the average Joe, he must be sold on the positives of becoming one of the first to own this new technology. This wasn?t terribly difficult in the case of a fuel efficient car that was introduced at a time when gas prices were skyrocketing. In fact, the marketing of hybrid cars was so effective; it is hard to find any of these vehicles available f...
Low Cost Hybrid Cars
Hybrid cars are still fairly new to the majority of us. They use a new method of making cars, and we all know that new methods and new technologies generally mean the resulting product is a lot more expensive than the ones we are used to. However, as that product becomes more widespread, so the cost goes down. This is why low cost hybrid cars are now starting to become slightly easier to find.

State of Texas Approves First Biodiesel Additive to Reduce NOx Emissions, ORYXE LED for Biodiesel
Irvine, CA (PRWeb) March 9, 2007 -- ORYXE Energy International received official notification today from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) that the company's biodiesel fuel additive, ORYXE LED for Biodiesel, has been approved for use in the state. Test results from a B20 biodiesel blend, submitted to the TCEQ, show that the additive reduces the increase in NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emissions from biodiesel to the level required to qualify as Texas Low Emission Diesel (TxLED). Fuel producers can now blend ORYXE LED for Biodiesel directly into finished biodiesel blends up to B20 and achieve significant reductions in NOx. The ORYXE Energy technology is the first additive for biodiesel to win approval from the state of Texas.
The emissions tests that supported the approval under the TxLED program were conducted at West Virginia University Engine and Emissions Research Laboratory, an EPA-recognized facility, and were funded in part by the state of Texas through a grant from the TCEQ.
Results from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study show that biodiesel reduces all regulated emissions, with the exception of NOx. NOx is a major contributor to ozone pollution and is a serious problem in many areas of Texas. The TxLED program was launched in November of 2005 to reduce NOx emissions from diesel exhaust in 110 counties, including the metropolitan areas of Houston, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin and San Antonio.
"There are so many benefits to biodiesel, and ORYXE Energy is pleased to offer a NOx solution that adds one more plus to the fuel," says James M. Cleary, ORYXE Energy chairman and chief executive officer. "The approval of ORYXE LED for Biodiesel gives the state, biodiesel producers and consumers another tool to improve air quality. It also gives biodiesel producers an option to reduce NOx and deliver a TxLED-compliant fuel using a single additive."
Texas is one of the largest biodiesel producers in the nation with 15 existing commercial production plants and several more under construction. According to the National Biodiesel Board, the state's total annual production capacity will double in 2007 to approximately 250-million gallons.
ORYXE Energy produces an additive for standard diesel at its blending facility in Pasadena, Texas. "Our additive technology is reducing thousands of tons of NOx from standard diesel across Texas," says Cleary. "With the tremendous interest in biodiesel, it makes sense for us to leverage our proven technology and resources in Texas to help the state take advantage of the great potential biodiesel offers."
