(Reuters) - Shai Agassi, Better Place founder and chief executive, walks in front of an electric car during the inauguration of a new vehicle demonstration center in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv February 7, 2010.

(Reuters) - An employee from an Indian gas agency loads a cooking gas cylinder onto a truck in the southern Indian city of Chennai February 4, 2010. India's government will shortly consider a proposal that it give up control of fuel prices, the oil minister said on Wednesday, a move which would ease pressure on government finances and improve earnings of oil retailers. The government sets retail prices of petrol, diesel, cooking gas and kerosene to help control inflation and protect consumers, particularly the poor, from sharp fluctuations in energy prices.
