Default Most People Will Never Know About Biodiesel

Nope, just no economical feedstock supply in sufficient quantity.
Everybody goes crazy over using french fry oil for diesel, but how
much used FF oil is there, anyway? Not enough to make even the
slightest dent in the diesel usage in the USA. Other sources simply
aren't economical now. Economics may play out in the long run, but for
now, it just ain't gonna work, unless of course the gummit mandates it
and (as usual) screws with the laws of economics. It's still a fad for
now.


Well there is another option. All of those farmers that get paid by the
government to not farm could grow appropriate plants and use them to create
biodeisel. That would be the Gov't interferring less with economics and a
source of a lot of fuel. I really don't know all of the in and outs of this
but it might be a viable means of producing fuel and resucing federal
spending/medling.
