There is no Walmart in Brooklyn, nor in any of the five boroughs of NYC. I don't know why. They are good for some things, from what I've seen. I'm not used to the one stop shopping way of life though. We just don't have that here. I don't think I would enjoy it.

What can I tell you - I'm in a New York state of mind.

I forget which country - it may be Brazil - where they use a mixture of ethanol and something, and are completely self-reliant. They don't need gas and oil It's also a renewable resource because the composition has something to do with corn, which they grow and grow and then grow again. Their cars are made to run on this fuel. The trick is that their government has made it so that a large percentage of gas stations must carry that fuel. In the U.S., only a small %
of our gas stations have to carry it.

I wonder why that is?
