From Farm to Fuel Tank: 5 Eco-Friendly Crops Grown for Gas and Diesel
Most biofuel in America is made from GMO corn grown in industrial monocultures in the Midwest. But researchers are racing to develop alternative fuels from more environmentally-friendly crops.

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

Abundant and affordable
We frequently get asked about the availability of propane autogas. Because propane isn't quite as recognizable as natural gas, most individuals assume the U.S. doesn't have an abundant supply.
Did you know that the U.S. is a net exporter of propane? In 2012, the U.S. exported approximately 2.6 billion gallons of propane, leading to net exports of almost 1.0 billion gallons.
In fact, propane is the world's third most popular vehicle fuel behind gasoline and diesel. Countries like Turkey, South Korea, Poland, Italy, and Australia have long been using propane as an automobile fuel because it's more affordable compared to diesel or petrol.
To learn more about the growing use of propane in the United States, check out ICF International's "2013 Propane Market Outlook" report.

"No One Size Fits All Solution"
The great thing about the Alternative Fueled Vehicle Roadshow is that all the players in the alt fuel industry have opportunities to serve various segments of the vehicle market.
As Joy Kramer, Director of the Alternative Fueled Vehicle Roadshow, states "There's no one size fits all solution." Check out this video of her discussing the latest event in Tennessee.

Electric vehicles are great options for families that don't need a lot of range. CNG is a good solution for heavy duty garbage/trash trucks and buses. Propane autogas is very flexible for light to medium duty sedans, trucks and vans.
The reality is, we can all get off of foregin oil, enjoy the environmental benefits of going green, and save money in the process. Now that's a solution!
If we truly want an innovative and creative renewable fuel industry, then it needs to be challenged. And if we create a set of protections that allow it to not be as creative and innovative as possible, then we aren't doing a service to the industry or to the people of this country.
