The  biodiesel economy future

Anyone who has seen a science fiction film is probably familiar with the unique visions of the future that have been presented on screen. Whether it be a whimsical world of adventure born out of a BUCK ROGERS styled fantasy or a dark, ominous vision of the future as presented in BLADE RUNNER, the common vision of the future people have is a world more similar to our own than different, but the differences are found in the unique twist our natural resources and technological advances have taken us.

Considering that alternative sources of fuel are being taken more seriously these days than any other point in our history, a biodiesel economy may provide the basis for the infrastructure of the next century.

A biodieselconomy would be an economy that operates on significantly fewer costs as the traditional need for oil will have passed off into irrelevancy. Well, perhaps irrelevancy would be too strong of a word. After all, there will never be a complete elimination of the world's need for oil, but the continued development of alternative sources of energy such as biodiesel would eventually lead to a significantly different economic landscape, a landscape dictated by a biodiesel economy that changed all energy production into a domestic business as opposed to an import business. This would literally shift the balance of power in the world!

Unfortunately, until more companies take up the task of effective biodiesel research and development, the world of a biodiesel economy will remain relegated to science fiction films and novels. However, with more and more tax incentives in the works to stimulate investment into alternative sources of energy, it would not be out of the question to see the biodiesel industry continue to make many strides in growth towards a biodiesel economy. Hopefully, it will occur in the present and not the future.
