No beef with biodiesel. They make & sell the stuff relatively without subsidy, because it makes sense. Ethanol adds expense and decreases mileage. Good choices, I'd say. NOT!

Funny how all you ethanol guys need the insults. Strange, i tell ya!

"No beef with biodiesel. They make & sell the stuff relatively without subsidy, because it makes sense."

That is absolutely false. The blender's credit for biodiesel is a dollar a gallon compared with fifty one cents a gallon for ethanol. Also, most of our biodiesel is produced from soybeans and I believe soybeans are also a subsidized crop. What's worse is that they don't get much more than forty gallons of biodiesel per acre from soybeans, so even if biodiesel has a higher energy content it still takes a lot more acres of soybeans than corn to supply a driver for a year. Biodiesel is a great fuel. We just need a lot more productive feedstock than soybeans before it could even come close to competing with ethanol, let alone petroleum based liquid fuels.
