WELL I AM STARTING THIS THREAD BECAUSE
GLOBAL OIL PRICES ARE SOARING AT $130 MARK
INDIAN GOVT HAS INCREASED PRICE ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE OF INFLATION
 
FIRSTLY I WILL PRAISE USA GOVT ABIT
THEY WERE ALREADY MAKING RESERCH ON ALTERNATIVE FUELS WAY BAK IN 1970S.THEY MADE AN AQUA SPECIES RESEARCH PROGRAM WHICH FOCUSED ON BIOFUELS FROM ALGAE TODAY WHICH STANDS TO BE AS THE MOST PTOMISING SOURCE
 
BUT THEY STOPPED IN 1996 DUE TO TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEM WHICH MADE THE PRODUCTION COST OF BIODIESEL 2TIMES THE 1996 US PRICE BUT AT THE PRESENT THE GASOLINE PRICES ARE NEARLY 3TIMES THE 1996 PRICES
 
they are just hoax. we have to find other nonchemical alternatives to protect our environment..........
 
Actually, Biofuels are making matters worse, they are eating up agricultural land which would have been used for wheat or rice. We all notice soaring prices of food products. So there is a real need for innovation in fuel sector.
 
You missed some very important points on the economic problem associated with ethanol not to mention the fact that burning it releases sulfur and causes smog.

if they Want to actually learn more… they suppose to get of the soap box and actually promote something that is useful to mankind and quit the drama and myths.
 
there has been very little productive work done in this field........so what has been happening on this front..............................
 
According to World Bank around 100 million people face starvation in the wake of the current food-shortage crisis. Although many claim that the food shortage has been triggered by a sudden shift in the eating habits of people in China and India, the impact of biofuel production on food-security cannot be ignored. You can also add to this the accelerated rate of deforestation once every kind of plant can be used as fuel, and once more and more land is needed to grow crops needed to produce oil.
 
There are various social, economic, environmental and technical issues with biofuel production and use, which have been discussed in the popular media and scientific journals. These include: the effect of moderating oil prices, the "food vs fuel" debate, poverty reduction potential, carbon emissions levels, sustainable biofuel production, deforestation and soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, impact on water resources, as well as energy balance and efficiency.
