  1. Biofuels are a red-herring.

    Want to do something about the gas issue, get rid of gas guzzlers.


  2. There is Willy Nelson's bio-Diesel stations. Fourteen in Texas. There are pumps in six other states too.

  3. Yes it would be nice

  4. Depending on where you live - it is. The corn belt states have it available.

  5. Yes we do need it.  Regular gas is creating alot of air pollution and w/out it we could get out of our country's dependence on foreign oil which will probably help with things in the Middle East and with national debt.  Go E85!!!

  6. I am in California, the largest consumer of motor fuel in the country.

    I do NOT want biodiesel or ethanol fuel in this state, because it is a waste of energy to plow ground, fertilize, plant, grow, harvest, and then process food plants into fuel.

    It takes 2 gallons of oil to create each gallon of biodiesel or ethanol, and the only reason it costs less is because the government subsidizes the producers.

    We would all do better to buy hybrid vehicles and quit buying anything except local foods and goods to help save energy; biodiesel and ethanol are blind alleys, not solutions.

  7. Come to Illinois. There all over the place here. It is also driving up the cost of food prices. Ethanol is way over rated. Stick with fossil fuels. I gotta eat.

  8. geek

  9. So do I.

  10. NO

    Ethanol lowers your MPG by 20% to 30% and cost a lot more. So does bio-disel and low sulfer diesel.

  11. Yes it would be so much better for the environment

  12. Yes I do.It is easy to eliminate getting rid of grasslands because you can get the produce from a Field that is all ready being used.

  13. There are here in Oregon.  There are many stations selling B99 (99% bio diesel) in Portland, and it is pretty readily available up and down the I-5 corridor.

  14. Ethanol and biodiesel are completely different.

    Ethanol is a wasteful red herring.

    Biodiesel really works.

    PLEASE STOP CONFUSING THEM!

    Biodiesel is available in every state.  It's fairly easy to make, even for small co-op's.  It can be made efficiently using supplies from CostCo and a racing supply.  You'll find biodiesel brewers in any college town, and it's not that hard to set up yourself.

    SVO and Biodiesel gives you about the same fuel economy (within 1-2%) as fossil diesel.  

    Ethanol does not :(

    It's kinda weird that biodiesel (which works) takes a back seat to ethanol (which kinda doesn't).  Meanwhile electric cars (which really work well) were crushed.

  15. No.  Destroying grasslands and forests to plant row crops is the most environmentally destructive solution to our energy needs.

    Beautiful Kansas.  

    Say NO! to ethanol.
