There have been 5 recession since then until now and I wanted to see if Oil had anything to do with them, because deep in my heart, I knew the most recent recession was directly caused by the oil price spikes that started in 2007 and peaked in 2008. The economy was slowed by their actions but it didn?t

To date, the US biofuels industry has achieved about 30% of the target level largely through the production of conventional corn starch ethanol. Among the principal findings of the study were: Biofuels production has had mixed effects on US agriculture, but the effects of expanded production are less certain.

Background colors of the cells represent the crude oil price required for economic feasibility. These synthetic fuels are economically competitive with petro-diesel when the crude oil price (COP) is at or above $86 per barrel (based on a 20% rate of return, in January 2008 dollars, with a carbon price of zero).

The Most Plausible Early Market consumers value fuel economy. It allows supplier and manufacturer cost reduction through multiple product generation. That could yield more than 50 mpg of fuel economy—or usage of less than 300 gallons per year—and still be a lot cheaper than a plug-in hybrid or a fuel cell vehicle, he noted.

In 2008, a report by UNEP called for the elimination of fossil-fuel subsidies, concluding that such subsidies often lead to increased levels of consumption and waste; place a heavy burden on government finances; can undermine private and public investment in the energy sector; and do not always end up helping the people who need them most.
