• Biofuels are carbon neutral.  This means that they do not increase nor reduce carbon levels and by displacing fossil fuels, biofuels can stop global warming.
  

•  Cleaner fuel equals cleaner air to breath.  This means  that our families have a safer and healthier environment to live in.
  

• Biofuels are easily renewable resources and they are inexpensive to produce.  With every biofuel advancement, they get more efficient and less costly.  Fossil fuels are limited and, with an estimated 50 years of fossil fuel left, they are extremely impractical.
  

• More than two-thirds of America's energy comes from foreign fuel.  By displacing foreign fuels, biofuels help make America more energy independent and thus help lower national debt.
