The best biofuel is made from algae. It not only consumes carbon and nitrous oxides, but then is a pretty easy to process into biodiesel. First squeeze out the oil, then mix it with ethanol in the presence of a lye catalyst. Filter, then add 1% petroleum diesel as a preservative.

Agree. And, there is a huge dead zone of the stuff out in the Gulf just south of the Mississippi River estuary. I’ve been wondering for some time why this stuff isn’t being harvested.
I prefer 20% biodiesel in my F250. The mileage went up about 3% when I switched, and I worry a lot less about my fuel pump and injectors knowing how much more lubricity biodiesel has.
And the fuel doesn’t stink up my hands and clothes.
