Bruce Dale, a professor of chemical engineering at Michigan State University, said biofuels are

"finally getting us off our oil addiction. We have a serious problem as a country because we are so dependent on foreign oil."

"Well, I think the primary benefit of moving to biodiesel is it's a commodity that we produce here in the U.S., we become more independent," said Executive Chairman Jerry Caulder of Finistre Partners.

"It's gonna transform rural America, because we'll have an increase in energy products, so there will be a lot more money made in agriculture that hasn't been made in a long time. It also has the potential to remake our whole climate change debate as well as change migration patterns in the united states," said Schlicher.
