520 3  "In the United States, we have come to depend on plentiful
       and inexpensive energy to support our economy and 
       lifestyles. In recent years, many questions have been 
       raised regarding the sustainability of our current pattern
       of high consumption of nonrenewable energy and its 
       environmental consequences. Further, because the United 
       States imports about 55 percent of the nation's 
       consumption of crude oil, there are additional concerns 
       about the security of supply. Hence, efforts are being 
       made to find alternatives to our current pathway, 
       including greater energy efficiency and use of energy 
       sources that could lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 
       such as nuclear and renewable sources, including solar, 
       wind, geothermal, and biofuels. The United States has a 
       long history with biofuels and the nation is on a course 
       charted to achieve a substantial increase in biofuels. 
       Renewable Fuel Standard evaluates the economic and 
       environmental consequences of increasing biofuels 
       production as a result of Renewable Fuels Standard, as 
       amended by EISA (RFS2). The report describes biofuels 
       produced in 2010 and those projected to be produced and 
       consumed by 2022, reviews model projections and other 
       estimates of the relative impact on the prices of land, 
       and discusses the potential environmental harm and 
       benefits of biofuels production and the barriers to 
       achieving the RFS2 consumption mandate. Policy makers, 
       investors, leaders in the transportation sector, and 
       others with concerns for the environment, economy, and 
       energy security can rely on the recommendations provided 
       in this report."--Publisher's description.
