Bio diesel will never be more than peripheral. Tar sands, shale oil, and oil-from-coal will provide plenty of oil for many years.

Thank you!!!!

My diesel truck will run just as well on Diesel from coal, tar sands, shale oil or sunflower seeds hemp or whatever... diesel is diesel.

The US needs to start building more vehicles that have high effiency Diesel Engines and everything else (with the help of the free market) will fall into place. The rest of the world has seen the light.

If we are talking about the process of turning cooking oil into fuel, then I agree. Ater all, there isn't much difference between growing corn to generate corn oil for biodiesel, and growing it to generate corn sugar to ferment into ethanol.
