Biodiesel... Another totally uneconomical fiction! You couldn't plant enough biomass if you used all the airable land in the nation to even supply the nations fuel needs for just one month!!!

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.

"You couldn't plant enough biomass if you used all the airable land in the nation"

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