Biofuels and renewable energy `part of our strategy`, Obama says
The United States should aim to become a world leader in the production and use of biofuels, president Barack Obama has stated. Speaking on the back of a visit to the first ethanol plant to be opened in the state of Missouri, he noted that investing in biofuels would not only help reduce the size of the American carbon footprint, but it would also help to reduce its dependence upon foreign and unsustainable sources of fuel, such as oil. Furthermore, the president noted that renewable energy, including biofuel production and wind and solar power plants, could also help create and support as many as 700,000 jobs nationwide over the next few years. `I want to be first when it comes to biofuels,` he stated at the plant. `There should`#146;t be any doubt that renewable, homegrown fuels are a key part of our strategy,` he added. Meanwhile, America#146;s rail operator Amtrak has announced that it has developed a train capable of running on biodiesel produced from beef byproducts, with the company noting that the new fuel will help cut its carbon footprint by around ten per cent.
