In Response To: Re: Bio Diesel (JohnD)

I was all enthusiast about BioDiesel until I found it costs more to product and burns more oil to produce the regular diesel. Crude for all the farm equipment used to product the soy beans, crude oil to product the fertlizer, crude oil or natural gas or coal to product the electricity to refine the beans. Remember lots of our diesel comes into this country already refined. When I read the whole story I just got disgusted. Here is the kicker it takes more than a gallon of petrochemical to produce a gallon of BIO. It is government subsidized right now. That means we are all paying for some folks to burn bean oil. It doesn't look like we will be able to compete price wise with middle east oil in the near future. Oh don't worry about them running out anytime soon. It seems the more they drill the more they find and the bigger their reserves get.
