Researchers in Scotland have recently discovered that the byproducts from manufacturing whisky can be used as biofuels. Scotland's 6 billion dollar whisky industry can provides a good amount of this biofuel, and plans to be available at gas stations around Europe by 2020.
"The fuel produced is butanol, which produces 30 percent more energy per gallon than ethanol.
Best of all, the biofuel could go straight into your car's tank, with no rejiggering required. It could eventually be used as jet fuel as well."

The World will need to seek out solutions such as these recycled biofuels in order to solve the Global Warming crisis. America needs to step forward and take the initiative on this problem, as Thomas Friedman calls it, "Code Green". It is up to the young generation to solve this Global Crisis, and it will only happen by the encouragement of energy efficient solutions that will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
