Electric cars are every day becoming more sounding. We can see futuristics models in tv, and in daily bases I can see the Nissan Leaf and Tesla S in my area.   Although most of the attention in the inclusion of renewable energy in the motor sector rely on the electric car, I wonder about the other alternative, the biofuels. I cannot find anything in the UK. Apparently fuel you buy in the UK can with a little percentage of biofuels (less than 5 %). However is well-known that in countries like Brazil the size of the market of biofuels is just huge (see in wikipedia ). It is possible that the introduction of biofuel is only profitable in Ecuadorian countries however there is a relative good inclusions in countries like EEUU or Sweden . In theory most of the engines could use a biofuel version without big problems, but a reduction of the power and the range. Apparently there is a cost if you want to adapt  your car. But this is not the only cost, you have to search for the bi...

Today I was checking the news an I was surprise by the new of of a military "parade" or Russian military ships near UK , and it makes me think about the reason: aparently the ships are in their way to Sirya, what makes me focus in Syria and I have realice that Sirya is on war for years now.  The Calais Jungle appears in the British news daily, I know people volunteering their and I know refugees from the area. What is going on in there? In my search for information I have found that in the military actions there are involved Russia, EEUU, UK, France, Irak Iran and  other countries.

It also happening to most of the people I know, you ask about this particular topic and they are totally lost. Do we have to little information or to much?

Wonder Woman has become a UN embassador  which apparently is controversial. I recall a conversation of my mother and others women talking about the differences of female and male teachers (in the eighties in rural Spain). Today we have a women as a Primer Minister in the UK, and a democrat females candidate for the White House, are we advanced in terms of gender inequality? what is gender inequality?. To try to understand a little bit more I have been searching a little bit for what is going particularly in the UK (the UK is a very dynamic society where little effects can lead to effect in prices significantly, for example, a) if you have a car and change your neighborhood for another you may find that you have to pay less o more money of car insurance or b) if you search for a house you will see  that a very similar house change its prices for the distance to shopping center, bus lines and so on).  So I have a look to a couple of reviews of the topic  and sugge...
