Question - You are a microbiologist working for the U.S. Department of Energy and because you are an expert in microbe-produced fuels, you have been called before a congressional committee examining the feasibility of renewable energy sources.
In your own words construct a thoughtful opening statement speech that demonstrates your knowledge of this field. In your statement to the committee, please include the following:
1. A summary of the different types of microbe-produced fuels currently available, and
2. A persuasive argument to support further funding for research and development of a microbe-produced fuel that you have determined to be the most viable as an alternative to fossil fuels.
