All you dreamers have got to get off the acid and stop havin flashbacks of "back to the future!" Puuleese!!!
I thought biodiesel included anything that might qualify as a fuel, like recycled vegetable cooking oil. But getting back to the point--why should GOVERNMENT do it, even if it is 'good' and 'economical' and 'pollutes less,' if the market won't?!?! Let the market decide what it wants!
I don't appreciate the name-calling.
I didn't say biodiesel would meet all our energy needs. I said, as far as alternative fuels goes, it beats hydrogen, IMO.
It can, however, reduce the usage of crude oil somewhat, even in blends, which are increasingly common. It also is sulphur-free, which helps cut down on pollution.

Do you have a source of data that supports this claim?
