Comments on: Report – U.S. Lacks Standards to Keep Biofuel Industry From Harming The Environment http://gas2.org/2008/10/03/report-us-lacks-standards-to-keep-biofuel-industry-from-harming-the-environment/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

In the intermediate bridge to that would be cellulose. Fortunately we'll not need grains for that, since anything with cellulose will work, though some plants are better suited than others. So, as an intermediate bridge to cleaner fuel, maybe we won't have to worry so much about emissions. As it stands, there are no emission standards except for larger metropolitan areas, and there are no standards at all for ships, lawn mowers, boats, leaf blowers and a number of other examples. Scientific American put out a plan for solar energy which could take the place of oil and nuclear energy. Complementing that is wind. There is a company, Rasertech, that is a prime example of geothermal(and no, I have connection with the company.) With these, there'll be no need for emissions at all. Clean and renewable energy for the future should be our goal, especially since energy is a national security issue. And the money we save by not buying millions of barrels of oil is a huge plus.
