In United States of America our president as stated America is addicted to Middle Eastern oil and it is time that we break that addiction. Indeed, America is addicted to Middle Eastern foreign oil, but we do not have to be, as we have so many options and as we increase the production of bio diesel for trucks and ethanol for cars we will be well on our way to kicking the habit.

Between 2004 in 2005 bio diesel production is up from 25 million gallons to over 75 million gallons and it is expected to double again by the end of 2006. Why is this happening? Partly due to government incentives and the grass-roots efforts of the Northern Midwest to grow their own fuel. Let s face it farmers need fuel to to run their tractors. Did you know that Willie Nelson, the country singer has his own brand of bio diesel fuel, which is used by truck drivers and sold in California, as well as the Midwest? Some truck drivers even call him Bio-Willie after the brand of Bio-Diesel Fuel.

One problem with bio diesel fuel is the petroleum-based diesel fuel it is also subject due to supply price spikes and in the off growing season it can cost as much as 20 to 35 percent more or if the farmers have a bad season it could be even harder. Also bio diesel must be stored in heated tanks and therefore it is subjected to price spikes in natural gas. So there is both good and bad to bio diesel fuel, but it is no doubt one option to helping America break her addiction to Middle Eastern oil. Consider this in 2006.
