The Use of Biofuels

 The use of biofuels, if managed correctly, can help out improve most of the
economic and environmental problems that are occurring today. They can
 help improve the quality of living such as water source, soil, energy,
 biodiversity habitats for the wildlife. Biofuels are needed in the U.S. and in
 other countries since it is the best way to meet climate criteria as well as 
the energy goal (Dale Bruce, 2014).  Yet, before being able to begin using
 the biofuels some “short-term” challenges must be dealt with first in order 
to see these outcomes. Once those challenges are dealt with, then they can
move on to achieving the “win-win” opportunities that will contribute to the
desirable outcomes. The biofuels might be the key to solving problems such
 as the food and energy security and help reduce both environmental
 degradation and climate change. Biofuels can help humanity with a lot of
 “win-win” goals which will support environmental, social, and economic 
goals (Dale Bruce, 2014).
