Pollution
Global Warming
Greenhouse Effect
Fossil fuels coal, CO2 and oil
Graph of how much fossil fuel is used as a source of energy
Background & History
◦Availability-Fewer than 1 percent of U.S. filling station have it.
◦Quality-In a test, a Chevrolet Tahoe FFV got 27 percent fewer miles per gallon on E85 than on gasoline.
◦Fuel vs. Food-Increased production has contributed to higher prices for related food products and food supplies might decrease
Expensive Land erosion and disrupts habitats
Cons of Biofuel
Good for the environment Good for the economy Renewable Countries own independent energy source Do not have to change existing machines or
invent new ones
Pros of Biofuel
Hybird cars
Standards are emerging everywhere because of goverments
The Earth is our responsibilty
