Considering the cost of oil at near 140, wouldn’t it make sense to let crops die and just let weeds grow, then when they die make this biodiesel? I’m just concerned that good intentions often lead to disaster.

You can grow plants like jatropha in places that are marginally desert. Jatropha can flourish in areas that farming has failed and be turned into biodiesel. Combine this with turkey into oil technology and it isn't necessary to use our farmland for biodiesel.

Boeckmann believes hydrogen is the true "silver bullet" for ending greenhouse gases but thinks it'll take more than a decade to figure out how to create and distribute it cheaply

Here is a serious problem with the Carbon Dioxide fixation the golbal warming alarmists have. Burn Hydrogen and you get water vapor, which is a far more efficient greenhouse gas than Carbon Dioxide. Not only will it not "end greenhouse gasses", but burning hydrogen will enhance them.
