James' Appendix Without Faecalith

Prises per barrel of oil reached 144 US Dollar (Mouawad, 2008), causing prises on daily good to increase, because of the increasing transportation-cost and the greenhouse gases (See Appendix, Greenhouse gases affect the atmosphere) that are released into the atmosphere are causing a global warming. Dealing with such problems, several of the worlds leading car manufactures are currently developing future products that either emits less greenhouse gases (using less fuel/particle-filters) or products that run on none-oil-based fuel (See Appendix, Car manufactures and the environment). This represents a great challenge for oil companies in terms of selling oil. Yet, an even greater challenge presents its self through a worldwide climate agreement, named the Kyoto...
