It is a very human trait to look at the world around us and assume it will always be the same. It will provide us with all the resources we need because it always has. We have water, air, energy supplies and food. Mother Nature is kind.
It is definitely true that Mother Nature was designed to be self sustaining. If Mother N. were left to her own devices all would be well and we wouldn't have any environmental or ecological problems to deal with. Natural predatory systems would take care of themselves and flora and fauna would thrive and succeed. The planet Earth would teem with precious natural resources and all would be well.
What Mother Nature didn't count on was the commercialization of these resources, or the speed with which we would be consuming them. She also didn't count on a rapidly increasing human population that relies heavily on these precious resources. A population that would drain Nature's deposits from the earth faster than they could be reproduced.
When the earth's ecological rhythms were evolving, it did not foresee homo sapiens interfering and screwing up the entire plan.
The Need for Biofuel
It takes the earth many, many years to replace the natural resources used in the production of the petroleum. It takes considerably less to grow and convert natural oils, which can, and have, effectively replaced the old system of fuel in certain testing situations. Actually, this process is common throughout certain parts of Europe.
Conventional biofuels are produced from sugar, starch and vegetable oils much like those you use in your kitchen. There are programs underway right now geared to the transformation of restaurant waste into biofuel. This illustrates the ease with which we can find the resources to give us a more sustainable energy future.
Biofuel's Benefits
“We should increase our development of alternative fuels, taking advantage of renewable resources, like using corn and sugar to produce ethanol or soybeans to produce biodiesel.” -Bobby Jindal
We are in serious competition with many other countries right now for the natural resources required to make conventional fuels. This fierce competition drives up prices and limits the supply of the product and serves in rendering it a non-sustainable form of energy.
Raw materials to form biofuel can be domestically grown so the United States does have a more enduring supply of sustainable energy possibilites. Biofuel is cleaner than fossil fuels. It also reduces considerably the amount of damage our modern transportation systems are doing to the air. Producing biofuel is also considerably less expensive than producing fuel from fossil sources.
Why Isn't Biofuel the Last Word in Fuel at this Time?
With its many advantages, one would think that biofuels would own the transportation market. The main answer to this question is in the way we manufacture automobiles. Many biofuel techniques and usages remain in the testing phase today.
So, while we don't see biofuel taking over the oil industry right now, it will in the near future. When that day in the near future comes, everyone on the planet and the planet itself will benefit.
