This has been a great month for Gas 2.0, and in no small way due to the incredible stories we’re hearing every day about new green-car tech, non-food based biofuels, and big scientific breakthroughs.

Besides getting back into the swing of things after some down-time in February, we were lucky to add Benjamin F.T. Jones to our writing team. Ben’s covered some of the most popular stories here this month, including the Subaru’s STI diesel, the all-electric Lightning GT, and a Japanese man’s attempt to sail across the Pacific in a wave-powered boat.

Happy New Year From Gas 2.0

The team here at Gas 2.0 would like to wish you all a Happy New Year.

After we all recover from the busy holiday season, you can expect things to start rolling with on-site coverage of the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). I’ll be traveling to a wintry Detroit, Michigan, to see the cutting edge of automobile manufacturing.

You can also expect to see our regular coverage of biofuel news continue, including more hands-on content and useful resources for those interested in the ‘how-to’s’ of alternative fuels.

Thanks for being a part of Gas 2.0, and for your interest in the fuel revolution.

Happy 2008.
