oil and derivatives will always remain the only energy source to be used in motors.

sugar-cane based ethanol is efficient as fuel for cars, but cannot be used to generate electricity.

it was important that Brazil be able to supply all its needs in generating energy, with renewable fuels like ethanol, hydroelectric power and petroleum.
