Biofuels (Compact Research - Energy and the Environment series) - Leanne Currie-McGhee (ReferencePoint, 2010).pdf

The Obama administration has given high priority to development of alternative energy sources. Biofuels are increasingly being used as an alternative to fossil fuels and, as a result, global biofuel production tripled from 2000 to 2007.

Does Biofuel Production Threaten the World Food Supply? What Is the Future of Biofuels?
