Abstract: . . .  we will see a greatly expanded use of alcohol, as a liquid fuel, as well as methane, as a gaseous fuel, from biological feedstocks. Methanol from coal, natural gas and/or biomass is also a promising alternative. What will be the role of the Florida Energy Extension Service (FEES) in the introduction of alternative fuels into our society? FEES exists to bring research-based information to the citizen. The biggest challenge that we will have in FEES will be to stay attuned to the current developments . . .
. . .  for gasoline so they can invest in R&D, conservation, environmental protection, and energy efficient systems of transportation, we pay just a few pennies above refinery costs, which I understand today are about 92 cents per gallon. This encourages inefficiency. What fuels will we be using in the future? With reasonable, sustained levels of research, I think we will see a greatly expanded use of alcohol, as a liquid fuel, as well as methane, as a gaseous fuel, from biological feedstocks.

While our competitors in the world - Japan, West Germany - are paying three to four dollars a gallon for gasoline so they can invest in R&D, conservation, environmental protection, and energy efficient systems of transportation, we pay just a few pennies above refinery costs, which I understand today are about 92 cents per gallon. This encourages inefficiency. What fuels will we be using in the future? . . .

When will we begin to pay the full cost of fossil fuels and the cost of environmental degradation caused by the consumption of fossil fuels?

Investment in R&D should be a part of the price of fuel to sustain an . . .
