The Future of a Biodiesel Economy by Rose Lindy

Everybody wonders what the future holds. You may think of your personal future, business future, children's future, but do you ever wonder what the future economy will be like? Isn't it hard to imaging anything being very diffferent than it is today? Science fiction films like to show the future in a dark theme, usually full of adventure. With all the talk of global warming, the ozone layer and any other number of environmental concerns most of us have also wondered what the future holds for the earth's natural resources. Also, give the fluctuation of oil costs in the last few years, alternative sources of fuel are being taken more seriously than ever before. There are already hybrid cars that are very popular and people are very open to accepting forms of energy that have nothing to do with oil. Considering that alternative sources of fuel are being taken more seriously these days than any other point in our history, a biodiesel economy may very well be the basis for the infrastructure of the next century.

So what is a biodiesel economy? It is a less costly economy because the need for oil will not be a dominant factor. There will probably always be some need for oil, but a biodiesel economy would not be addicted to oil. Also, the continued develpment of alternative energy sources will move the world to a very different economic landscape than what we currently have. Imagine the United States producing all their own energy. Now go one step further and imagine every major country in the world creating their own enery supply. This will drastically change the world economic scene.

The possibility of a biodiesel economy is not as farfetched as it used to be. More and more companies are beginning to take up the task of effective biodiesel research and development. Also, there are more tax incentives in the works to stimulate investment into alternative sources of energy, it would not be out of the question to see the biodiesel industry continue to make many strides in growth towards a biodiesel economy. Hopefully, it will occur in the present and not the future.
