As the price of gasoline and diesel in the United States remains above $3 USD per gallon and shows signs that it will only continue to increase, more alternative energy sources must be put into use. Can you afford to pump $40 to $100 per week into your gas tank? For many people, that's one fourth of their weekly income.
A viable alternative available now is biofuel, and I believe it's the only way to move away from petroleum-based fuel in a reasonable amount of time. Other alternative energy sources are either unavailable in most parts of the world, or are very cost prohibitive. Sure, it feels good to be green, but what good does it do if it takes nearly your entire lifetime for an energy source to pay for itself?
Biodiesel is just one area of discussion at BioFuel Debate, and it's in their biodiesel forum, where the topics include biodiesel safety, fueling locations and commercial availability. A lot of people don't understand what biodiesel is and that most modern cars made to be driven in the United States can use it instead of diesel. Other forms of biofuel can be used in gasoline-powered engines, such as ethanol.
What impact will biofuel have on our economy and our environment? Biofuel impact is another area of discussion that deals with these topics and more. I'm interested in the what kind of effect it will have on the economy as we push away imported oil from the OPEC cartel.
I rarely write about things that affect every developed country in the world and I think I should do it more often. Biofuel will have a huge effect on future generations, so it's very important to get involved with it as much as possible right now.
