I wonder what percent of the nation's WVO is being converted to BioD.
Is there any way to find out?

Not nearly enough, though, to be anything more than a "feel good"
activity for a few individuals.

Right on. They are uprooting peat bogs to plant oil palms and in so
doing are warming the climate significantly, according to yesterday's
news item.
I still say reusing (processing) spent restaurant cooking oil or fat
is the only truly environmentally responsible way to make bio diesel.
On Nov
while Palm Oil yields very high-energy BioD, it unfortunately makes for
fuel with a very high cloud point.
yes, Indonesia has been particularly irresponsible if their quest to
profit off of the demand for the fuel; proof that any good thing can be
screwed up by short-sighted greed.
cheers!
Palm oil is a very good feedstock for bio-d, a lot of the tropics are
being converted to oil palm tree farms, cutting down forests and such.
I have seen reports that it is particularly a problem in Indonesia.
No free lunch (or fuel).

Well yes. Requires lye for the esterification, has byproducts of
glycerin (which I guess is pretty harmless)
"Very much like those who gladly pay a premium price for Biodiesel."
huh?
and where was your fuel grown? whose son was sent there to defend
that supply?
cheers!

How is buying biodiesel similar to ignoring the extra environmental cost
of batteries?? Is there some extra environmental cost of biodiesel?

The Prius People don't care much about the unknown future issues of owning
them, since they are "doing their part" or at least appearing to do so.
Very much like those who gladly pay a premium price for Biodiesel.
