Go with diesel from algae. The per unit area yield of oil from algae is estimated to be from between 5,000 to 20,000 gallons per acre, per year (4.6 to 18.4 l/m2 per year); this is 7 to 30 times greater than the next best crop, Chinese tallow (699 gallons).

Algae to diesel production can be done anywhere there is sun. And, the food can come from raw sewage. For those CO2 nuts, C02 from fossil fuel electrical production goes to good use with algae cultivation. Such operations can be set up in waste land where there is good sunlight.

One such corporation is Green Fuel Technology of Arizona.

What's their net profit?

PS - Subsidies are not profit.
