Grassely Bill to Expand Bio Diesel Production
On June 24th, 2011 Senator Chuck Grassely of Iowa and Maria Cantwell of Washington put forward legislation to simplify and extend the current tax incentives for the production of domestically made Bio-Diesel. This will help producers to more easily understand how to acquire capital and the ability to expand their production. This bipartisan bill is designed to help displace imported petroleum diesel for a lower carbon emitting bio diesel.
The bill is designed to offer predictability to investors as well as producers so they can more confidently produce and invest more securely in the expanding alternate fuel market. The writers of the bill believe that raising fuel prices are holding the economy and this allows for more American producers to allow for a homegrown alternative to petroleum.
By 2015 analysts project that domestic Bio-Diesel production will replace 1.9 Billion gallons of imported diesel and create 74,000 domestic jobs to help strengthen the US Economy. This bill will increase incentives and also make it harder for petroleum producers to take advantage of lax standards to qualify for the tax credit by only mixing small amounts of bio-diesel into their blends.
Bills like this will help strengthen the quality of Bio-Diesel in the United States and hopefully engine designers will respond with engines designed to run in higher and higer blends of Bio-Diesel until ultimately they are running on a B100 blend produced domestically to help increase national security and national energy dependence.

Nissan Juke R This is The First Production Model
Announced a few months ago as a vehicle (tiny) production, the Nissan Juke-R 2013Â again about him with the presentation of the first copy out of the workshop proudly wearing his coat of arms: No001.
Just made this first copy was first tested and validated by Nissan engineers before taking the path of its future owner. Nissan also states that the No002 is “on track.” As a reminder, the version of “series” of Nissan Juke-R 2013Â is more powerful than the concept via the latest amendments to the V6 twin-turbo 3.8-liter engine of the Nissan GT-R. He develops a whopping 550ch and allows the Nissan Juke-R 2013Â beat the 0-100km / h in 3 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 275km / h.
Besides the engine, the standard version features some new cosmetic changes in collaboration with experts from Nissan Design Europe (NDE), based in London. Thus, the Nissan Juke-R 2013Â wears a new front bumper, hood with carbon fiber vents, redesigned side skirts, exhaust outlets look more suitable to the small crossover and a rear diffuser aerodynamics.
“The bumper Nissan Juke-R 2013Â and the side sills have been redesigned, which is normally a long process using scale models in clay. However, we managed to condense development time using a full screen view our 3D projector and maintaining an entirely digital process while providing a high quality finish for the Nissan Juke-R 2013, “says Darryl Scriven Team Manager of Digital NDE.
Inside, a few changes were also made, including the steering wheel from the Nissan GT-R but also on the central console and the lower part of the dashboard. With regard to the sale price of the Nissan Juke-R 2013, Nissan says the group that it depends on the specifications of the new owner but indicative base price starts at € 500,000, more than 5 times the price of a Nissan GT-R. It’s always like this when you want the hand stitched.

Bentley Rolls Royce and Lamborghini made strong gains in European auto production in April
The 2010 results are expected to come out favorably against the April 2009 period when sales dropped due to the global financial crisis and Europe’s incentive program that favored small cars. With the recovery in the global economy and the ending of government subsidies, the factories in Europe are boosting production to fill orders for high-end models. Notably, the April output for the Mercedes S class rose to 6,012 units from 675 in 2009. The Land Rover Range Rover Sport increased by 157% year on year. Production was also boosted for the all-new Rolls-Royce Ghost, according to estimates from J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting. Overall, European production rose by 8% in the month to 1,367,512 and 28% to 5,746,227 through April. It should also be noted that April was the first month when the year-on-year production growth rate was a single-digit percentage (instead of double digits).
