America's dependence on Oil

It is still under dilemma, whether bio diesel is good or not. It is considered to be a good and evil one. Good in the seems cost effective but we can’t depend fully on this source. Most people in United States are addicted to oil. In particular, America is dependent of foreign oil from the Middle East, but there must be, as we have many options and how to increase the production of bio-diesel for trucks and ethanol for cars, we are on track to kick the habit. As per the analysis, the production of bio-diesel during 2004-05 is 25 million gallons more than 75 million gallons and is expected to double again by the end of 2006. This is one of the most serious crises they are facing because of the incentives and efforts of the north Midwest to grow their own fuel. One problem with bio-diesel is a petroleum-based diesel fuel, is also why the issue of price spikes and supply outside of the growing season, which can cost 20 to 35 percent or more, if farmers have a bad season, it could be even more difficult. Also bio-diesel must be stored in tanks heated and is therefore, subject to price spikes for natural gas. So there is both good and bad of bio-diesel, but there is no doubt, a way to help breaks America’s dependence on oil from the Middle East. Did you know that Willie Nelson, the singer has his own brand of bio-diesel, which is used by truck drivers and sold in California and the Midwest? Some truckers also called Bio-Willie after the mark of Bio-Diesel Fuel. The passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 bio diesel usage has been increasing in the United States. Also bio-diesel must be stored in tanks heated and is therefore subject to price spikes for natural gas. So there is both good and bad of bio-diesel depends on the usage limits.


Fifth Anniversary of Tsunami

Today is an unforgettable day for people over coastal areas. Thousands of saffron-robed monks chanted and prayed for victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami on Saturday as Asia marked the fifth anniversary of one of history’s worst natural disasters. In particular , Indonesia which was the worst hit with the number of dead and missing over 166,000. Massive reconstruction aid in Banda Aceh has rebuilt a new city on top of the ruins, and many survivors are only now putting memories of the waves behind them. As per scientific research the energy released inside the sea is equal to 26.3 megatons of TNT. This energy is equivalent to over 1502 times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, but less than that of Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated. The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing nearly 230,000 people in eleven countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (100 feet) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand were the hardest hit. We need to pray for the victims who have lost homes and loved ones.


India will go for the kill at Eden Gardens

After a 2-1 lead Indian team is now planning to wrap up the series by taking an unbeatable lead 3-1. Though the team is missing excellent
Skipper Dhoni because of the ban imposed on him, and were dealt a blow when the mighty Yuvraj Singh was also out of the series due to a finger injury. The absence of the skipper MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh doesn’t seem to impact the performance of the Indian Team. The reason is the hosts still have been enough firepower as they go into the fourth One-dayer against Sri Lanka on Thursday. The batting order of India is very decent, a good start at the top will be imperative for them to do well in tomorrow’s do or die match. The present skipper Virender Sehwag and seasoned Sachin Tendulkar will have to stay at the crease for a long period to ease the pressure on the middle-order, which is now dependent on left-handlers Gautam Gambhir who is known as one of the walls of Indian cricket. India under Sehwag dished out a clinical performance in Cuttack, and it never seemed that the side was playing without their regular skipper. Tendulkar had provided a path for India to comfortable win with his controlled batting in Cuttack and the host would hope that the star batsman would yet again come up with an inspiring performance. It will also be a test for India’s bowlers, who will have to restrict the srilankan team to take off the pressure from their batsmen. So far, they have done well in the grounds favoring batsmen but Thursday is the day when they will have to put up good show.
