• The EU’s package Climate action and renewable energy package was released yesterday. ENN have a useful factbox on it via Reuters and there’s commentary on it from earth2tech. Coverage from The Guardian here.

• We thought this - Tata to make electric vehicles with Chrysler - was interesting especially given some of the environmental concerns raised about Tata’s last big news splash, the Nano. On a related automotive note, GM will be bringing a “Fuel-Friendly” initiative to Grammy Awards.

• “Ethanol appears to come with a higher greenhouse-gas price tag than previously thought — higher, indeed, than fossil fuel.” Worth quoting in full from this article on the WSJ.

• On a lighter (or not!) note, David Beckham may the greatest threat to the environment - Beckham leaves massive global ‘footprint’.
