Why does this not make a major political issue, seeing as how, with all the farmers, especially the small farmers with otherwise uneconomical operations, all need a new product, and this appears to be it. Raise grain, etc, to convert to biofuels, even set up your own biofuels conversion unit, and provide the energy we need that could, it appears, even replace petro altogether. Ipsofacto: new products stabilizing a farm economy that continually needs to be supported, minimized national security problems not having to depend on the Arabs. Less air pollution. Emphasizing small scale and appropriate technologies, etc etc. The only losers would be the big oil companies, who, however, would somehow eventually take over with their "economies of scale," etc. Am I dreaming or what? How do the Democrats viiew this as an issue, or are they also bought off by the special interests. Why hasn't this openly surfaced on the national agenda. If only as an argument against "drill, drill, drill," and avoiding the ANWHR drilling -- a biodiesel economy might even compete on a time frame basis, considering the time required to build new refineries, build new pipelines, new drilling, etc. Make available some well-developed, small plant, plans, with listing of the materials required and some demonstrated results, and every farmer could get in the business. Comments anyone What is wrong with this and why hasn't it been surfaced on a national scale, unless there is some vast conspiracy going on to keep everything in the hands of the status quo?
