I think they are OK unless they are made from food grade materials.
Used cooking oil, cooking grease from grease traps, etc. is ok to use for bio diesel but I don’t want to see one ounce of soy beans, corn or other human or livestock feed used.
I don’t think the government should deside who wins and who looses.
They are a better alternative to fossil fuels. They burn cleaner and pro-long the life, of the components necessary, to deliver and consume them. On the other-hand, to displace precious food production, for the benefit’s of the fat cats,is a travesty to the human race.Seem’s that a single human’s value is being sacrificed for an extra dollar added to a greedy ceo’s bank account.
Biodiesel is wonderful, and better still when it’s made out of materials that would otherwise be wasted. A lot of waste vegetable oil–some of which cannot be turned into animal feed–can make our cars go. That keeps it out of our sewers and landfills, and it keeps our cars moving.
From a carbon perspective, virtually all the carbon in the recycled biofuel would end up in the atmosphere anyway through natural decomposition. That means biodiesel is nearly carbon-neutral. For those of us who don’t want to add more CO2 to the atmosphere, that’s a good thing.
From a foreign policy perspective, every barrel of oil we don’t have to import improves our national security. Which is definitely good too.
All is wonderful except that the major component to make the most common biodiesel is methanol. That is wood alcohol that is mainly found in Venezuela and Chile. Since Ceaser Chavez ran off big oil, the supply of Methanol has been cut in half, so if we went to biodiesel, we would be fighting donut stands and Chavez for feedstock to really make a huge amount it.

Yes we should use it, and if the algae oil plants pan out we might be able to stop importing ANY oil, but we’ll have to wait and see.
