The purpose of this web site is to promote the use of alternative fuels. We do this in order to create employment opportunities for local people while at the same time learn how to take better care of our environment. By adding value to the raw materials that are grown locally we intend to sell products and services that people need.

No matter what the exact date of the expected peak in oil production, looking at the increasing reliance of the U.S. economy on fossil fuels and the uncertainty of the long-term future of fossil fuels, the United States must begin to prepare for a transition to alternate energy now. To start with, the United States must begin to make significant investments to diversify its portfolio of energy resources. Geographically distributed biorefineries could produce a steady flow of bioenergy and bioproducts into the US economy, reducing some of our reliance on petroleum imports and reducing economic insecurity from threats, both domestic and external. Regardless of when peak production is reached, the cost of crude oil and natural gas will likely continue to increase at a more rapid rate than biomass and agricultural commodities.
