need to get a few things straight; firstly, running Veg Oil and BioD
isn't the same thing. (i've yet to see any pump selling Veg Oil for road
use,...)

a waste product that already served some purpose and was originally made

Kinda scary, creating synthetic life.
They'd better not screw this up, the mutant microbes that ate the world.

Allan,
You point out the use of soybeans for BioD which is almost the lowest
yielding crop you can choose. Unfortunately, in the US, the BioD potential
has been hijacked by the Soya farmer's lobby group.many other oil

You could put fossil under the solar category. Wind and hydroelectric
would go there
Fuel cells hold more promise I guess, can use methanol or other
hydrocarbons and not require pure hydrogen gas, but unless they use
pure hydrogen (which as stated above, will require more energy to
produce than you will get back) they also will emit CO2.
Unless the carbon comes out of the ground
We only have a few energy sources, ultimately. Directly or
indirectly it's one of solar, tidal, fission, or fossil.
(I count geothermal under the fission category.) Then
there's hydrogen fusion (of the man-made variety,
as opposed to solar). Bio-anything is solar.
Here would be some irony: som

The somewhat popular idea of a "Hydrogen Economy" is either a calculated
ploy to distract people from emissions controls and fuel economy measures
that can help us here-and-now, or it is the result of a brain-fart by total
idiots. You are just as likely to succeed at fueling cars with squishy gumm

It will always be a different (and potentially explosive) form of

Same with bio fuels, it works yes but is there better out there?

What's NOT to "get" about biodiesel? It's similar to what the engine was
originally designed to run on. Have you ran any veg oil in your car? Mine
ran smoother, quieter and had a bit more "oomph" while reducing pollution.
There's no way you pollute more by using it.
Any CO2 released will be equal
