Brasília – Speaking at the inauguration of an experimental biodiesel fuel unit last week in Rio Grande do Norte, president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva declared that in the 21st century Brazil could become an energy superpower without the need to use nuclear power. Pointing out that the H-biodiesel fuel being made at the experimental plant was efficient and ecologically-friendly, consisting of a mixture of diesel with vegetable oils, Lula went on to say that in the future the world's developed nations are going to have to learn to produce biofuels from Brazil.
