Financial benefits of Bio Fuels
According to a recent survey by the Department of Agriculture, a widespread implementation of biofuels would generate: are you ready for this? 5.2 billion dollars by 2010, most in agriculture, a market that America has traditionally dominated in the past, and can easily overtake again.
Using landfills for Bio Fuels
Part of the natural process of decomposition of waste is that it produces methane gas. While we have a huge trash problem in this country, it is true that eventually evertything wil decompose. While there is research going into exactly how to collect this methane gas, not enough research is being put forth to produce any kind of results soon. This is another natural resource that’s going to waste thanks to our governments ignorance.
Oil Consumption in US
As of today, the US consumes 20 million barrels of oil per day. This take a huge toll on our economy, as we’re importing a staggering amount of that oil at a premium price from other countries. Moving to an alternative energy system would help the economy more than any kind of stimulus package could ever hope to, because we’d be able to keep the cash flow domestically.
