The biofuel could go into specially-designed ethanol vehicles as well as regular U s. gasoline most of which is composed of 10 percent ethanol.
I've also read that required energy investments are lower for beets. Nonetheless I'd rather stay skeptical of this until

Not that anyone uses these to make long trips anyway so just be happy it can sip gas at a slower rate than its entirely-gasoline equivalents.

The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition;
His goal is to reduce the energy wasted in homes and businesses by half within 20 years.
He promised federal support to states that create jobs through the construction of energy-efficient buildings.
and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy Obama said. We must go all-in on clean energy he continued generating more wind energy and lowering costs for solar energy.
He promised to speed up new oil and gas permits and clear red tape for natural-gas production.
And he encouraged Congress to support research and technology to make natural gas more environmentally friendly.
He proposed an Energy Security Trust funded by oil and gas royalty revenues that the government collects from oil
and gas leases on federal land and offshore drilling According to The New york times that revenue is estimated to reach $150 billion in the next decade depending on market prices and production.
The trust would divert that funding into the research and development of alternative fuel sources to get cars and trucks off oil.

Opt1-We are going to use AGW as a reason to restrict energy developement. Fail. Opt2-We are delaying energy development in the US
so that our domestic supply is intact once the Middle east hits peak oil Success. Opt1-We are going to regulate CO2 production to stop AGW despite the cost to buisness.
Fail. Opt2-Due to the cost of air and water pollution to the taxpayer we are going to seek a ballance in which buisness is successful
Success. Opt1-We are going to dump taxpayer money into a handful solar companies in hopes that they can become competitive in the energy market rather than driving other solar companies out of the market or outsourcing to China.
I guess wasting $1 billion on failed green energy enterprises didn't teach Obama anything.
and make fuel for the future from dirty water. any water. hydrogen can be made from any source of water. even nuclear power plant water. useing high voltage

and 97%of the scientists are wrong eventually the oil will run out. The price for a gallon of gas is nearly $4. 00 a gallon
So finding an alternative source of energy would still be in our best interest. There are still large populations of Bison living on the North american continent.
Were they wiped out by the climate change from prehistoric human use of fossil fuels? Maybe not the use of fossil fuel but some believe by humans.
And extinctions can happen for a lot of reasons some man made some evolution. until I saw the bank draft

which would unleash the power of 100 megatons of TNT--twice as large as the largest nuclear bomb ever exploded the Soviets'Tsar Bomba detonation in 1961.
Other breweries such as Newcastle in the UK have been spent burning grain for fuel before but mixed with wood or other fuels;
Alaskan claims to be the first brewery with an energy system powered solely by spent grain.
What is spent grain exactly? We asked Beersci: When brewers make beer they crush and soak the barley kernels in hot water to extract a large percentage of the sugars found in them.
In the present interglacial the Holocene the climatic optimum occurred during the Subboreal (5 to 2. 5 ka BP

While Europe is building a massive Supergrid (much of it with DC lines) for it`s solar wind and bio energy transports.
And while Europe and China keep expanding high speed rail to more cities the US is only lowering investments in roads energy rails etc.
In the ideal US grid all fossil fuel and wind/solar facilities would be replaced with 2500 nuke plants one to every 100k population.
By replacing expensive deadly and sickening destructive fossil fuels plant the rate of return on the investment to the nation as a whole in a kind of a FDR New deal would pay back at 40%per annum.
It would put Big Oil/Coal out of business and they own pretty well all politicians and media at all levels.

We should just burn as much fossil fuels as we'd like because change is natural. Even if that change is negative
A modern version of FDR's depression ending New deal building nuclear plants would solve the US energy needs in 15 years
or less. 2500 new mass produced nukes scattered around the US at $2500b financed by the $800b paid every year into the coffers of Big Oil/Coal for their deadly products would carry all US energy needs.
Unlike normal state expenditures like military and bridges etc a massive nuclear build has a immediate direct return to the economy using $2500b in mass produced nuclear to replace the $800b in annual fossil fuel cost and at least $100m
Factory produced Nuke power is by far the least expensive form of energy at less than 2. 5 cents a kwh.
In fact the construction of 2500 nukes by a federal agency like FDR's Bonneville or TVA over the same time to replace all fossil fuels would be quite feasible ending the recession
and generating 40%rates of return on investments to the nation as a whole for a carbon to nuclear conversion.
and easily adaptable to nuclear hydrogen/atmospheric CO2 as feedstock would provide liquid fuels. The effort to replace all fuel sources with nuclear would be similar to the industrial effort required to produce Liberty ships
or Sherman tanks in WW2-easy since our economy today has ten times the industrial capacity 20%idle.
Obviously Big Oil is agin this and has purchased pretty well all our politicians organizations like Greenpeace Sierra

You ignore the fact that we'll see more dynamic weather as we'll have more energy in the system.

I do support sethdayal's idea of going nuclear mainly because I would prefer a cleaner environment.

and its stable relative carbon-12 the relative levels of carbon-14 in their growth rings give scientists a way of measuring the amount of high-energy particles entering Earth's atmosphere in a given year.
Those rays would have created high-energy particles in our atmosphere which could then go on to form the carbon-14 present in such abundance in the Japanese cedars.

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund announced that it is dropping all of its investments in fossil fuels-about $60. 2 million or 7 percent of the total $860 million endowment in favor of renewable energy.
While the greenbacks involved are a relatively small amount compared to the trillions invested in global oil coal
and natural gas the symbolic splash is huge: Heirs to a major oil fortune are pulling their money out of the industry.
The move will likely put wind under the wings of the fledging international fossil fuel divestment movement

This palm oil pledge is major conservation -and-climate news. Palm oil is Indonesia's single biggest economic sector helping to reduce the nation's intense poverty.
Palm oil is also such a lucrative global business that it's expanding into other tropical nations.
But palm oil has been the cause of intense rates of forest and peatland destruction ecosystems that would otherwise be storing much more carbon than the palm plantations that replace them.

Many areas of Borneo are also perfect for growing palm oil plantations and as demand for this oil has increased--especially in the last decade--more land has been cleared for this purpose.
About 10 percent of the entire island now consists of single-crop monocultures such as these plantations according to the study that documented the deforestation published in PLOS ONE.

Pinene*also happens to rival the properties of JP-10--a liquid rocket fuel that's widely used for commercial and military launches.
JP-10 and other energy-dense rocket fuels are derived from oil and don't come cheap. The cost of JP-10 is about $25 per gallon
and rising as oil demand grows.)Meanwhile no biofuels today can compete with traditional rocket fuels on the market.
Although ethanol derived from corn for example can more or less replace gasoline even the latter and more energetic fuel packs about 20 percent less punch per gallon than JP-10.
A breakthrough in rocket-compatible biofuel came in 2011. That's when the Navy discovered chemicals that link together or dimerize two molecules of pinene into a fuel with properties similar to JP-10.
Because leveling pine forests to extract a little pinene isn't practical however researchers have sought
since alternative production methods. The new research effort--a joint venture by Georgia Tech and the Department of energy's Joint Bioenergy Institute--builds on the work of the Navy by offloading pinene synthesis to bacteria.
The group genetically engineered E coli bacteria to produce conifer-derived proteins that assemble pinene. Stephen Sarria and Pamela Peralta-Yahya two Georgia Tech researchers who collaborated on the new work published in ACS Synthetic biology broke down the process for Popular Science in four steps:
With the brewing of pinene complete they used the Navy-discovered chemicals to dimerize pinene molecules into rocket-ready fuel.*
Pinene dimers have a similar high energy density as the JP-10 not pinene.**Correction:.

Concrete and steel require enormous amounts of energy to produce and transport generating more than a ton of carbon dioxide per ton of steel or concrete.
which requires additional energy to cut and press into sections s far more environmentally friendly. According to Wood For good an organization that advocates for sustainable wood construction a ton of bricks requires four times the amount of energy to produce as a ton of sawn softwood;
concrete requires five times steel 24 times and aluminum 126 times. Wood also performs better: It is for example five times more insulative than concrete and 350 times more so than steel.
That means less energy is needed to heat and cool a wood building. When CLT is used to build high-rise towers the carbon savings can be enormous.
By the time Wood graduated in 2004 and opened his own lab at Harvard university he had helped pioneer a way to use extremely energy-efficient exotic materials to replicate the motion of a fly s wing;
