Analysis by: Allan Durning, Executive Chairman,uk building materials outlook through to 2013 | www.apdltd.biz
Despite the recent comments about recovery and "green shoots" the evidence would still indicate that we have some distance to travel before the building material industry returns to the levels of volumes enjoyed in the period circa 2004-2007 pre the market crash.Strong performance in the RMI and Infrastructure markets will help offset weak demand in the other sectors.

Ethanol Complaints Are Only Temporary
July 31, 2008
Analysis by: Gene Plavnik, President,In Gas-Powered World, Ethanol Stirs Complaints | www.nytimes.com
Today's condition of the production of ethanol looks as it is not cost effective. Ethanol itself has some problems in the process of combustion in the internal combustion engine (ICE).
