Well, Brazil has been doing it for years; growing their own fuel. But can the United States of America grow enough ethanol to power are up all of our automobiles? That is no easy task considering the enormity of our demand; nevertheless that is the plan. Currently unit 5 to 8 percent of their total gasoline usage that would serve our nation very well and possibly prevent the horrific price spikes which so often hurt American families and small businesses. What is The Biorefinery Initiative?

Biorefinery initiative is one put forth by the Bush Administration and it is rather simple; growing our own fuel and finding ways to accelerate technologies to allow us to make cellulosic or rather plant fiber ethanol into fuel for our cars. Part of the President's budget for 2007 includes nearly $150 million to develop ways to turn agricultural bio waste such as; switchgrass, cow crap, woodchips, stalks and other bio mass into fuel.

Sounds good doesn't it? Well considering the amount of bio mass that we throw way this makes a lot of sense here if we could reach our goals of 30 percent of our countrys fuel by lets say 2015, then we have come a long way to purging ourselves from our addiction to Middle Eastern oil. Consider this in 2006 and thank you President Bush!
