On January nineteenth 2010, the primary ethanol-fired power plant whirred into action in Brazil. National oil company Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) and American systems giant General Electric (NYSE: GE) pitched in resources to flip an existing eighty seven MW plant into a flex-fuel power station that can alternate between natural gas and ethanol (that are both considered different fuels, while solely one is renewable). GE needs to see how its turbines will be custom-made to work in flex-fuel plants in Brazil and in developed countries like Japan, where clean-burning power plants are gaining momentum. Brazil's water-dependent hydroelectric infrastructure teeters during the dry season in places where natural gas is not easily accessible. It just therefore happens that wind power peaks at the other term as the water in running rivers that drives dam-based mostly generation. Ethanol and wind might supplant natural gas as the first alternative supply of electricity generation throughout the dry season in Brazil and President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said within the Brazilian press that Brazil may be selfsufficient in natural gas after several pre-salt (browse: incredibly deep) offshore fossil fuel pockets are tapped. That capability is a minimum of 5 years away. Ethanol is there currently, and when wind power auctions started last December, 773 wind turbines can be turning across Brazil by 2012. Shell, Petrobras, GE, and Cosan will surely push hard to get the govt. in Brasilia to initiate a nationwide "ethanol electricity" campaign to ensure that oil and automotive fuel are not the key determinants of sugar ethanol's success. As in thus several different areas of the world, those communities that are now underserved by fossil fuels will benefit most from such clean energy advances. The US Administration completed its revised Renewable Fuels Normal (RFS2). RFS2 can move towards a national goal of 26 billion gallons of biofuel production by 2022.

Prospects therefore remain disappointing, and are being made worse by the differences that exist between member countries. The European Central Bank therefore faces a difficult situation. It continues to forecast “moderate” growth and “moderate” inflation; but it is being severely criticised for failing to address the problems of a two-speed economy, and for its unwillingness so far to face the threat that the deteriorating situation in Greece could quickly begin to destabilise other member countries and have serious consequences for the financial stability and growth prospects of the entire area.
It is not surprising therefore that investors and speculators have started to reduce their exposure to the euro.

Shaw Capital Management News - Foreign Exchange Markets 2010 Part 4: - The critical question therefore is whether the fall of the euro is now over. Since the currency is unlikely to receive any real support from the general background situation in the euro-zone, everything depends on the developing debt situation, and particularly on the situation in Greece; and also on the possibility of support operations from stronger member countries and from the European Central Bank, and the European Commission. The situation remains uncertain. The central bank appears to be reluctant to offer help, and the German government, which might have been expected to become involved, has also made no response so far.
Shaw Capital Management News - But the European Commission has endorsed the latest plans by the Greek government to introduce an across-the-board freeze on public sector wages and cuts in allowances that are expected to reduce the overall public sector wage bill by around 4%.
This may encourage support from elsewhere; however the Commission has warned that it will not tolerate any slippage from the target and will if necessary demand tougher action from the government to ensure that it stays on course.

But it is far from clear that the Greek government can obtain the necessary support in parliament even for the present proposed measures, and so the uncertainty will continue.
It is therefore likely that there will be further falls in the euro over the coming weeks.
Sterling has improved slightly over the past month, helped by the weakness of the euro.
Shaw Capital Management News - The background situation in the UK remains unattractive, and there have already been threats that its AAA credit rating is at risk unless there are credible measures to reduce the massive fiscal deficit after the forthcoming general election is over.

But the UK is not constrained by membership of the European single currency system, and so there is no immediate risk of a default on its sovereign debts.
It has therefore been able to benefit from the problems affecting some other European countries.

Shaw Capital Management News - Foreign Exchange Markets 2010 Part 4: - The latest figures from the Office of National Statistics indicate that the UK just managed to move out of recession in the final quarter of last year. The estimate of growth of only 0.1% in the quarter was a considerable disappointment, and it is expected that it will be revised higher; but clearly the economy is not performing very well.
Government spending remains strong, and there was a surge in retail sales in the run-up to Christmas; but the anecdotal evidence suggests that consumers became much more cautious again in January.
The latest meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England was concerned by the poor reaction so far to the dramatic measures that have been introduced to counter the recession, and reacted to this situation by leaving UK base rates unchanged once again at 0.5%.

Shaw Capital Management News: Flex-Fuel Power Plants Now Opening In Brazil
(1888PressRelease) May 26, 2010 - National oil company Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) and American systems giant General Electric (NYSE: GE) pitched in resources to turn an existing 87 MW plant into a flex-fuel power station that can alternate between natural gas and ethanol (which are both considered alternative fuels, even though only one is renewable).
GE wants to see how its turbines can be adapted to work in flex-fuel plants in Brazil and in developed countries like Japan, where clean-burning power plants are gaining momentum.
Brazil's water-dependent hydroelectric infrastructure teeters during the dry season in places where natural gas isn't easily accessible. It just so happens that wind power peaks at the opposite time of the year as the water in running rivers that drives dam-based generation.
