Domestically produced biofuels have the potential to reduce our reliance on foreign oil while stimulating the economy of the United States through its production. However, not all biofuels are created equal! Please see our fact sheets for more information on this complex industry.
Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrids
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) have the potential to reduce our dependence on petroleum while emitting zero tailpipe emissions. Furthermore, the benefits of BEVs and Plug-in Hybrid Electrics (PHEVs) will only increase as the electric grid of the U.S. adds more renewable production processes such as wind and solar power. Please read our fact sheets for more detail.
