Renewable fuels becoming reality

Aug 27 - Earlier this month, the Ford's Fusion 999 hybrid reached 207mph on the track, lending support to the view that renewable fuels are here to stay.The Bush Administration's "20 in 10" renewable fuel research initiative is yielding fruit in the private sector. The Department of Energy is working with many of the major car companies for the "20 in 10" initiative introduced in this year's state of the union address. President Bush says he wants to see U.S. oil consumption decrease by 20% in the next 10 years, back to about 1996 levels.
