Ep. 77 BioFuel = BioCool

from Petri Dish · host Petri Dish

It is probably going to be a while before we can *totally* stop using things like jet fuel and diesel, but they are both non-renewable *and* leave a carbon footprint. WHAT'RE WE GONNA DO? Biofuels could help! Depending on how they're made, they could end up being carbon neutral, or have a smaller footprint than regular fuel. On top of that, they'll be renewable! But how do they work? Do we have biofuels already in our gas tanks? This episode has a promo for Twisted and Uncorked, a podcast with wine, true crime, and the paranormal! Check them out on twitter @Twisted_Pod!
