Biofuels
Editor Margaret Haerens has compiled fifteen essays that explore debates about biofuels. Readers will analyze whether or not biofuels are superior to fossil fuels, the viability of certain types of ethanol, such as corn and cellulosic ethanol, the current status of ethanol use in the United States, the presence of biodiesel as a potential "fuel of the future," and the use of algae as a biodiesel source.
