[QUOTE="klein, post: 831005, member: 23950"] As much as I like the bio-diesel approach. It's not archievable for every day use. Maybe for the trucks, cars should be electric. There is just not enough food on this planet now, to burn it. The Chinese and Indians are getting sick of eating rice. They want some goodies from other countries, like I enjoy a Hawaiin pineapple or a Californian orange. They want frenchfries (need veggie oil to fry them), other potato products, corn, and all those goodies. Besides, the worlds population is still growing at a rapid amount. I already seen some news articles, about the northern US, and using corn for bio-diesel. People aren't happy about it, because they have less corn, and pay more for it. Corn, just a few years ago, was 10cents a cob, I got really lucky to get it for 25cents a piece last year, but normally it was 35-50cents. Really, using good farmland for fuel, is not quite the answer. I heard Florida has a new turbo engine, that actually runs on bio-diesel, created from orange peels. Now, that's a thought. Use the leftovers of fruits and veggies to make bio-diesel. Like pototo skin, from a frozen frenchfry factory, or grape skins (pulp) from wineries, etc. [/QUOTE]
