Increasing budget for the future’s energy source ‘biofuels’ has spurred the din among the oil producer and looking for the measure to combat with the forthcoming problems. Oil producers have pulled out their plan to increase refineries in the wake of keep gasoline prices high.

President Bush has called for the reducing oil dependency and by 2020 world will slashes 20 percent of oil use. President’s whim and increasing budget has force oil companies to consider the future of the oil and its viability. Growing concern of increasing environment threat and President Bush’s announcement has left oil producers in a fix of growing oil’s market in the coming decade, therefore oil drillers have step back from their previous decision to plants new refineries.

In the recent time, consumers have faced a vital problem of rapidly mounting gasoline prices. Apart from the tumults in the oil producing countries, American senators have blamed shortage of new refineries as Senators James Inhofe and R-Okla., highly criticizes the oil drillers policies, during debate on a Senate energy bill.

The fact is that Americans are paying more at the pump because we do not have the domestic capacity to refine the fuels consumers demand

This summer was the toughest for the consumers as oil prices have touched the all time high and suspicion over the prices still haunting consumers and policy makers. Despite government intervention and all possible diplomatic measures, oil prices remain well above $3 a gallon.

Stiff rise in the gasoline has already inundates the profit of many sectors. Auto giants are the worse affected by it. In the middle of rising prices, American auto giants have lost their market to the spurring Asian rivals. Once customer’s darling SUV and other roaring vehicles are now missing from the busy high ways. American auto giant Ford is on the verge to be a history.

Last year, the Energy Department has declared the upsurge in the profit and anticipates for the more profitable year, increasing demand boosts their refining capacity by more than 1.6 million barrels a day, a roughly 10 percent increase. That would be enough to produce an additional 37 million gallons of gasoline daily. But after experiencing such market down fall oil companies have scaled those expansion plans back by nearly 40 percent and more cancellations are expected if Congress passes legislation now before the Senate calling for 15 billion gallons of ethanol use annually by 2015 and more than double that by 2022, say industry and government officials.

American new plan to save green earth from boiling up seems too costly as it’s receiving set back one after the other. Earlier OPEC has shown their apprehension of lower budget for the new refineries and now oil drillers themselves are raising voice against the proposed biofuels investment.
