Well I have finally well and truly succumbed to the heat, and I am now sitting in my room with the air conditioner going at full blast. I feel so guilty, like I am literally sucking the energy out of the earth . . . but I thought I was going to go crazy with the heat.

I have been reading so much about biomass energy lately! I never realised that biomass energy was so popular in Brazil. In Brazil, most cars run on ethanol that is made from sugar cane. I think this is such a great idea. It sounds like a good way to break our dependence on oil.

Anyway, that's my two cents for today . . . I have to go and enjoy my air conditioning!
