government, renewable alternative sources of energy within the United States can be achieved. CURRENT DEPENDENCY Oil fuels do more than supply gas for the automobiles of the United States; it
also fuels Americans economy. In 2002, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the United States consumed 19,656 million barrels of petroleum (crude oil and petroleum products) each day

States is imported (Biomass Program). At the current rate, the EIA has projected that the total petroleum consumption in 2025 will be 28.3 million barrels each day (Biomass Program).
If something is not done to decrease the United States dependency on foreign imports of petroleum, by 2025 the US will have a 70% dependency on foreign petroleum (Biomass
Program). The primary demand for oil is in the transportation sector. This dependency of the United States on foreign sources of energy makes it very vulnerable to oil supply
disruptions. If the flow of energy products into the United States is disrupted, it threatens the countrys economic and energy security. It is well known that oil prices
