作為這個國家最根深蒂固的行業(yè)之一——大石油——的替代品，我們從來沒有這么容易過。隨著我們的產(chǎn)量呈指數(shù)級增長，從1980年的1.75億加侖增加到近幾年的130億加侖（占全國汽車燃料供應(yīng)的近10%），我們一直不得不為我們的市場份額而戰(zhàn)。

As an alternative to one of the most entrenched industries in this country – Big Oil – we have never had it easy. As our output has increased exponentially, from 175 million gallons in 1980 to more than 13 billion gallons in recent years which represents nearly 10 percent of the nation’s motor fuel supply, we’ve always had to fight for our share of the market.
