It’s no secret that General Motors Corp. is planning on making biofuel out of everyday garbage that you and I throw out. According to one article, General Motors Corp (GM), has entered into a partnership with Illinois-based Coskata Inc. which has developed a way to make ethanol from almost any renewable source, including but not limited to old tires and plant waste.

Supposedly, the production of the new biofuel will cost less than a dollar a gallon, according to the company’s chief. Additionally, the process of using garbage versus the more traditional corn-based ethanol is a huge improvement as it will use significantly less water and energy and will not divert food into fuel.

Chief executive officer of GM, Rick Wagoner has been cited as saying;

We are very excited about what this breakthrough will mean to the viability of biofuels and, more importantly, to our ability to reduce dependence on petroleum.

But just how long will it take to enact this great idea? According to Wagoner, it will take approximately twelve years to replace the majority of the vehicles on the road with the new-and-improved ones. I just hope they do it before gas ends up costing $10 per gallon.
