Reason for the Bill:
To Require automobile manufactures to ensure that no less than 80% of the automobiels made in the U.S by each manufacture to operate on fuel mixtures containing 85% ethanol, 85% methanol, or biodiesel.

Who is affected by the bill:
===Car manufactures: They will have to pay more to make the cars because they will have to spend more money on making the engines because the engines will have to run off of more than just gasoline. The car manufactures have to pay more so their engines can run off of biodesel fuels, ethanol, and methonal. ===

Car buyers: Cars that can run off of more than just gasoline will cost more to buy. However, the consumers will not have to spend rediculous amounts of money every year on their gasoline.
In america the amounts of green house gases are rising becuase of carbon dioxed levels being relased into the air. Green house gases are the main cause in global warming. On of the major contriubters in carbon dioxied emmisons are cars. When you drive from place to place you relase carbon dioxied in the air. Almost every american has a car, just imagine how much carbon dioxied is relased in an average day. By having this bill it will reduce the carbon dioxied emmisons in the air, it will also help improve public health. Green house gases are not only bad for the enviornment, they are also bad for peoples public health. Green house gases result in lung diseases such as lung cancer, and also asthma. The amounts of kids with asthmas are increasing rapidly every year. Also the United states spends 1 billion dollars every day to power the countries cars and trucks, by approving this bill it will save the United Sates money.

Why this bill is needed:

 * It will help reduce green house gases
 * it will help improve public health
 * reduces air pollution
 * By drilling for oil it damages the landscape, by using biodesal fuels it wont ruine the landscape
 * Gas prices are rising- by using biodesal fuel you wont have to pay for the high prices
 * Unlike gas, biodiesel fuels are renewable
 * Biodiesel fuels will not catch fire/ explode
 * Will reduce the United States dependence on foreign oil
 * Biodiesel fuels are cleaner, they do not pollute

Why this bill should not be passed:

 * Biodiesel fuels requires the use of crops
 * They are rare in U.S
 * Chemicals in biodiesel fuel are sometimes poisonous
 * Biodiesel fuel is not effective in the cold
 * Biodiesel fuels freeze in the cold
 * It will cause car manufactures to have to spend more money on the engines, so that the engines can run on fuel mixtures, so they dont have to rely on gasoline

__**Biodiesel fuel**__: Diesel fuel made from vegetable oil
Pros for using biodiesel fuels:
 * They are renewable resources
 * Made from vegetable oil or animal fats used in cooking
 * Decreases air pollution
 * Will not catch fire or explode
 * Makes it so companies can be independent in making their own fuel
 * Is an engine cleaner
 * Non Toxic
