  11. Fuel, Food, Economic & Environment Debate • Oil prices are linked to food …and most everything else… food costs more because the energy to produce the food costs more. • High Grain Prices • Biofuel demand • Global shortages related to weather • Speculation

  12. Renewable Fuel Panel • Production Cycle • Fields of Energy DVD • Web stream www.agclassroom.org • Advantages & Disadvantages • Subsidies • Environmental Impacts • Future of the fuel, could the U.S. run on biofuel?

  13. Fuel Flicks • Ethanol Plant • Super Yeast: Making ethanol production more efficient • Switchgrass Science • Biodiesel Plant • Fats to Fuel • Algae (QuickTime Movie for download) • YouTube Algae Movies • Green Fuel – Algae (History Channel) • Hydrogen • Algae Research
