We'll have to see about that. One thing for sure, they'd better get cellulosic ethanol off the ground soon. Nobody like the price of corn going through the roof. Also, companies should invest in biobutanol, like they're doing in Great Britain. This fuel is quite similar to gasoline in mileage and energy content.

I was just wondering today how much gasoline would be saved if all the country's school buses were converted to biodiesel (but realizing that diesel isn't necessarily good for winter weather, maybe 75% is more realistic). Could there be a "vegetable oil to school" movement?

You're so right. Corn is not the answer.
