The UK plans to reduce carbon emissions by 60% and between 26% and 32% by 2020. Plans for greener homes with better energy efficiency, investment in low carbon fuels and technologies such as carbon capture and storage, wind, wave and solar power are also in the pipeline. The government will be able to fast track new policies to tackle climate change, including new trading schemes for sectors not covered by the European trading scheme. Fast track policies mean will mean businesses should adopt best practice policies quickly as the gap between proposed legislation and implementation will shorten considerably.

WTN compiled this point-by-point guide to his stances on business and technology.

Yes, ULSD fuels have a lower BTU value and thus when burned in a diesel engine will result in less power. Cetane enhanced products can offset this power loss. Cetane is a high energy compound that makes the fuel burn more completely in the combustion chamber, resulting in more power, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy. Power Service diesel additives contain "+ Cetane Boost" to offset this power loss while also improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.

Angel and venture investment: Act 255, the economic development package that Doyle has heavily promoted for its angel tax credits, got a small mention during the address as having boosted the states entrepreneurial culture. Recently Doyle also announced a Wisconsin Angel Network, a group that will be state-supported but administered by the Wisconsin Technology Council.

Entrepreneurship: The Wisconsin Entrepreneurs Network was announced in November as a way to coordinate regional outreach centers and resources for entrepreneurs. This and the angel network will likely work together to connect start-up businesses with funding.

• The Wisconsin Entrepreneurss network has $1 million a year in Department of Commerce money to start four regional outreach centers

Manufacturing: The governor called out manufacturing as a major source of job creation in the state over the last year. He supported additional support for the sector, traditionally a strong one in Wisconsin. What form that support will come in will have to wait until the budget is revealed, but it could improve further tax credits or easing of regulations. He also pointed out that Inc Magazine latest issue cited Wisconsin as making a remarkable turnaround in creating manufacturing jobs.

Make Bio Fuel Energy: Doyle wants to put in place a standard for homes and businesses to use 10 percent renewable energy by 2015. He also said the state should reduce its dependence on foreign oil by encouraging biofuel research, which would put the strength of Wisconsins agricultural and biotechnology sectors into play.

Life-science research: Doyle wants the legislature to approve $3 million for research into Alzheimers disease, which would be a major focus of the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, a planned research center on the UW-Madison campus that would cost about $375 in private and public money. The institute would also focus on bioinformatics, stem cells and other biotechnology research.

Savings on computer purchases: The state government saved $300 million a year by using its purchasing power to cut the cost of state desktop computers by $1000 each, Doyle said. Software savings of $125 per machine led to savings of $2.5 million, he said. The state is also consolidating its e-mail servers for an estimated savings of $1.6 million. Each agency has paid separately for the service until now.

Math and science education: Doyle proposed legislation requiring high-school students to take three, not just two, years of math and science. He said Wisconsin schools requirements were in the bottom 13 in the nation and below the entry standards of the University of Wisconsin.

Minimum wage: The first standing ovation, however, was for Doyles support of an increase in the statewide minimum wage to $6.50 from $5.15, and came only from the Democratic half of the chamber. Doyle said they and Republicans had an honest disagreement, but that the matter should be brought to a vote and not delayed.

The Blade was not designed to achieve reductions of gaseous emissions or increases in fuel economy. Rather, the Blade was originally designed to filter particulate material from gasoline exhaust systems in poor quality fuel environments. The purpose of designing the Blade was to test what would happen if the same technology used in Sabertecs diesel filters, Impact Diesel Particulate Filtration (IDPF) technology, was applied to gasoline engine exhaust systems. Our goal was to see if we could captureand thereby reduce the emission ofgasoline particulates.
