原油价格冲破141美元
刚刚见证了每桶国际原油价格冲破141美元的大关，看来离150美元的心理水平大关也不远了。可是我至今还未搞懂原油价格飙升，到底是原油供不应求，还是有人在炒作市场呢？看来最近要多多研究这方面的课题了。
对这个课题比较有研究的人，我首选《东方日报》总主笔刘敬文。他写的文章都是值得一读的好文章！
麻疯果油将会成为飞机燃料？
如果一切顺利，麻疯果（Jatropha）油将会在今年9月被纽西兰航空作为747飞机的燃料，不过有关计划还在实验
性阶段。纽西兰航空经理表示，如果试验成功，这将会是航空业的新里程碑！
麻疯果油比石油价格低三分一，是现今石油价格高涨，麻疯果油能够取代石油的关键因素。
The jatropha oil is also significantly cheaper than crude oil. It could cost an estimated $43 a barrel, or about one-third of Wednesday’s closing price of $122.30 for a barrel of crude oil.
麻疯果油属于非食用油，避免了油与粮食争地的窘境，加上麻疯果油比大豆油的产量高5至7倍。麻疯果自是再生能源的不二选择。
The test flight is particularly noteworthy because it will come at a time when ethanol and other biofuels have come under increasing scrutiny because of their side effects. Production of ethanol has been blamed for corn shortages that have contributed to higher food prices. Other biofuels have been blamed for deforestation and contributing to global warming.
Researchers here have found that an acre of the plant can yield about 300 gallons of oil, or five to seven times more than other potential feedstocks such as soybeans.
就让我们期待纽西兰航空的747飞机在9月份，载着麻疯果油的燃料展翅高飞吧！
