As my blog name and post title imply, I am strongly considering researching biofuels for this class's research project. My interest in this topic relates to my major, Agricultural Business, and my upbringing on our family farm. In the last 10 years there has been an explosive interest in ethanol and other biofuels in the popular media. Some coverage is in favor of these fuels, while other coverage finds it wasteful. Currently, I do not have enough information to decide which of these viewpoints I believe in.
That's where this project comes in!
With adequate research, I hope to find enough information to help me decide what my stance on biofuel creation is. Once I find my stance, I would then be able to effectively argue for or against biofuels, and help my fellow agriculturalists make educated decisions regarding biofuel production.
In order to create an unbiased project, I plan on looking at my topic from a multitude of perspectives. Currently I am hoping to find information that looks at biofuels from economic, scientific, conservative, and liberal viewpoints in particular. These will help me even out my small family farm perspective.
For biofuels there would be potential for several scientific artifacts. Papers or essays explaining the process in depth would help educate other readers efficiently. Powerpoint presentations would be great for this as well, because it would allow me to include visuals of the creation process. Presentations or papers could also be used to explain the economic and environmental impacts of biofuels for an audience. In addition to these, something like a Public Service Announcement could be used to quickly educate others about biofuels in a creative manner. No matter which artifact style I choose to create, I plan on including information regarding the science behind biofuels as well as their cost effectiveness in creating energy.
Thanks for reading,
Matthew Willis
