Fossil Fuels are on the ropes. Don't get me wrong they are here to stay, but their reign is now on the decline. Why? Fossil Fuels are a finite resource, and we have extracted most of what comes out easily... particularly with oil. Alternatives are beginning to come into the fore-front, vying for future supremacy as the fuel of choice. Bio-diesel and Bio-ethanol are two fuels, renewable and potentially viable. Bio-diesel was what the first diesel engines ran on. If I remember correctly, the first diesel engine ran on peanut oil... break out the JIF.
Bio-ethanol has already been successfully adopted by Brazil. There sugarcane is refined into Bio-ethanol, a far more efficient process than that which makes corn into Bio-ethanol. However the future for ethanol is a bit hazy. There are more efficient ways to create electricity, and electric vehicle production is on the rise.
