| Stating the obvious: cross country rallies have huge carbon footprint | | 2008-06-27 11:39:00 | | The main concern with cross country rallies is usually reckless driving at triple digit speeds. However, with the ever-increasing concerns over the environmental impact of cars, it was only a matter of time before someone raised concerns over 200 or so supercars traveling 3,000 miles with single digit fuel mileage. ABC News did, and calculated that the 200 cars in the rally generate nearly 650,000 pounds of CO2. To get an idea of how much that is, the Union of Concerned Scientists states the average American generates approximately 40,000 pounds of CO2 in an entire year. Rally founder Tim Porter askes, "Why can't car enthusiasts have a little fun?" Answer him in the comments below.

| Euro rallies up to 1.6019 on expectation ECB may raise rates | | 2008-04-23 10:10:29 | | Euro rose against the Dollar on Tuesday trading above 1.6000 for the first time since its 1999 inception amid growing expectations that the European Central Bank's next move may be an interest rate hike. ECB Governing Council Member Christian Noyer said the bank would do what is needed to bring inflation back to its target of just below 2%, adding that the central bank would move rates if needed. That followed comments from Governing Council member Yves Mersch, who said the ECB has to ask itself each month whether a rate rise is needed to control inflation. ECB is seen keeping rates at least at a six-year high of 4% for a while. In contrast, markets expect the Federal Reserve to lower benchmark US rates further from the current 2.25% at a policy meeting on April 29-30. US economic data on Tuesday showed the housing market remains soft, with existing home sales falling 2% last month to 4930k. The Bank of Canada cut its benchmark interest rate by 50bp as expected.News and Events:Euro ros | | By: All About Investiment | | |
