U.S.: Obama Discusses Biofuels
March 30, 2011
U.S. President Barack Obama said March 30 that he had directed the Navy and Energy and Agriculture departments to cooperate with the private sector to create advanced biofuels capable of powering fighter jets, trucks and commercial airliners. Entrepreneurs over the next two years will begin construction of four next-generation biorefineries, each with a yearly capacity of more than 20 million gallons. The administration will propose the first-ever fuel efficiency standard for heavy-duty trucks in the summer, he said. He directed agencies to buy alternative fuel, hybrid or electric vehicles by 2015. Washington will partner with private firms seeking to upgrade their fleets, Obama said. The government proposed new programs to help citizens upgrade homes, businesses and plants with energy-efficient building materials, he said.
