Once this low-emission fuel is ready, Uptown and Pure Fuels sell it straight on to a combined clientele of around 1,100, most of them taxis – London’s black cabs, which are responsible for 10% of PM10 particulate emissions from exhausts in Enfield, London, until recently had to pass a twice-yearly emissions test, making biofuel a popular option for drivers.

In FT.com business news article “My seven-point plan to save the eurozone” George Soros, as FT guest author, writes in his article his suggestions as the actions for Euroland leaders to take to resolve the Eurozone crisis (including Greece’s debt, Republic of Ireland and Portugal fragility). Soros is surely worth listening to, as he is widely regarded as one of the most talented global currency traders in history.
George Soros’ 7-point plan to save the eurozone
a) Member states of the eurozone agree new common treasury treaty, and European Central Bank to provide liquidity and European Financial Stability Facility EFSF to accept the solvency risks.
b) EFSF to underwrite ECB/IMF Greek bonds, allowing voluntary Greek debt reduction with EFSF support.
c) EFSF guarantees banking system, not government bonds. Delay proposed recapitalisation. This is Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany)’s preference, and is beneficial to France than recapitalisation.
d) Major banks follow ECB line, in return for EFSF guarantee. Any rebel banks are denied access to ECB ‘discount’ gateway.
e) Banks follow ECB’s instructions to maintain credit lines and loan portfolios. Appoint risk managers as inspectors to as internal monitor system. Financial markets will approve.
f) ECB to drop discount rate, and ECB stops open market purchases. Governments to issue treasury bills. Banks to keep liquidity in treasury bills, not ECB deposits. EFSF covers solvency risk. Italy can borrow short-term at reduced cost. No need for ECB to lend to Governments. No printing of money (Quantative Easing -QE). Creditor countries control Italy by negotitating and restricting how much Italy can borrow via this route.
g) Markets will favour:
- Authorities working together
- Sufficient funds available to fund eurozone finance plan
Soros understands currencies and fiscal policy better than almost anyone on the planet.
