....doesn't compete with people starving ?????? If the plant is being grown on land that would otherwise be growing a food crop then there is no difference.

They said a guy in Fla had planted several hundred (thousand?) acres in the stuff as an investment and he had been able to develop hybrids even better than that being grown in other countries. The Fl environment seems to help the bush grow also. Seems they can produce as mush as 1600 gallons of diesel per acre per growing season. Plus, it's not a food source so it doesn't compete with people starving. Found this http://www.jatrophabiodiesel.org/ - sorry if this has been discussed - haven't been able to read the ist as often as I'd like.
