The slide show discusses how switchgrass produces ethanol, a better fuel option. However, ongoing scientific research raises questions about switchgrass as a sustainable alternative and suggests Miscanthus as a better option. While this is positive for the environment, the popularity of fossil fuels presents a challenge. If we were to switch to eco-friendly fuels, it would disrupt transportation systems until a suitable substitute is found. Backup alternatives must be explored through further research, as science leads to multiple questions and investigations. So shown in this slide show again about how switchgrass produces ethanol, which is just a better line of like fuel and all that, but because science is an ongoing process it leads to multiple other questions that can be asked about the same topic. So one of these being switchgrass is very common in the Northeast and because it's very common, it's really not going to go away very soon if it were to go away at all. But when thinking about this, if it does go away, is there a better alternative in this end? So trials and studies have already begun about this and finding a new alternative and studies have been, well really the study sources show from genetic engineering and biotechnology news have really shown that Miscanthus is a better alternative compared to switchgrass when you're thinking of the levels of ethanol produced. So this is a very positive to think about if it's a better alternative, like why not switch over now when you have the opportunity for it all to grow to really help the environment ahead of time. So this has already had studies being done, but the question that's along these same lines is how popular fossil fuels are. So fossil fuels are very bad for the environment, but they're also so popular when you think about they're used in your cars, your trucks, trains, planes, everything really used to get from one destination to the next. So if we were to switch to a more eco-friendly type of fuel, per se one given off by these natural resources, would it cause a little different reaction? So if we were to completely get rid of fossil fuels, until there was a substitute for it that could really make up to the full percentage, a lot of traffic would stop. So like cars would not be able to run, planes, trains, they would all not be able to keep going with the amount of fossil fuels that we would lose. So when we do run out of fossil fuels, we want to have a backup alternative that has already started by now. So this question could really come a long way with further research to show. But these are just two questions because science is an ongoing process and just because we investigated one thing, it could spring off into multiple different things all to investigate.
