1 A.J.  Biofuels

2 Biofuels are super cost effective, at only 75 cents, according to MIT technology review, which is a lot less than the gas in downtown Duvall at $3.59 a gallon. Cost $

3 z Safety  The main catch in the use of biofuels is that they do not produce greenhouse gases that cause global warming they help reduce dependence on foreign oil for some countries. However, it would be a little reckless to thing that biofuels (and biomass generally) do not come with their own share of concerns.

5 z Aesthetics Since biofuels are already in liquid form, it's just like using gas to power everything in your house and car, except without the bad environmental impacts.

6 z Reliability  It takes a very long time for fossil fuels to be produced, but biofuels are much more easily renewable as new crops are grown and waste material is collected  Biofuels can be produced locally, which decreases the nation dependence upon foreign energy. By reducing dependence on foreign fuel sources, countries can protect the integrity of their energy resources and make them safe from outside influences.

7 z Cultural Impacts In the Duvall and Carnation area, there are a lot of farms that could already support our area with enough biofuels for our entire community

8 Environmental Impacts
since plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow, crops grown for biofuels should suck up about as much carbon dioxide as comes out of the tailpipes of cars that burn these fuels
