Why should we select ethanol over biodiesel?

Biodielsel is more heavily subsidized than ethanol. Ethanol is viable right now without subsidy. Biodiesel is not. With the subsidy, however, biodiesel production is ramping up very rapidly. We produced 2 million gallons in 2000 and 245 million gallons last year. The USDA projection is 375 million gallons for 2007 rising to 700 million gallons by 2010. Still a drop in the bucket, however.

Can you provide some information concerning that claim? Thanks.
