Biofuels: A Viable Alternative to a Real Crisis
Chris Kramer & Sam Toberman
Abstract
The global community has become engulfed by the power of petroleum. Oil has served as a catalyst for technology as well as political and social instability throughout the producing countries. Those instabilities, together with negative health effects and the inevitable fate of a depleting and non-renewable resource have led the United States, among other nations, to the path towards a biofuels society. The primary replacements for gasoline and petrol diesel stand as ethanol and biodiesel.
