Biofuel, a gasoline formulated from various natural products with the addition of natural gas and/or other gas products, is quickly rising to become the bridge between current fuel for power sources and future fuel products. While not quite as environmentally friendly as COMPLETELY giving up natural gas, petroleum, and other natural, non-reusable resources, it certainly provides a much less harmful alternative. A major leader in the biofuels area is Sundrop Fuels Inc., which is based in Colorado, is hoping to expand its current operations into the Louisiana's Rapides Parish due to the abundance of natural gas and wood byproduct necessary for their biofuel operations. There is a lot of local support for Sundrop Fuels Inc.'s decision to move to Louisiana, because of the 170+ total jobs (direct and indirect) that will be created as a result of the companies 450 million dollar plant. Another reason for support is the hope current Louisiana residents will continue to stay in Louisiana, and also that this plant may provide an influx of people looking for jobs, rather than the large exodus that Louisiana has been experiencing recently.

While my aspirations for solely electric cars are coming to fruition with models such as the Chevrolet Volt, which is a hybrid, but can be solely electric for local travel, cars using biofuels rather than petroleum based fuels like now is the next best thing. The fact that Sundrop Fuels Inc.'s biofuel requires no engine modification whatsoever and allows for it to be put directly into current gasoline tanks provides alot of incentive to switch over to this new fuel. While current fuel output will be relatively low at first (50million gallons of fuel per year, low compared to BP, Exxon-Mobile, or other gasoline giants), Sundrop Fuels Inc. hopes to put out about 200 million gallons of gasoline by 2016.
