- biodiesel has a much much better energy balance than current fuels which take more energy to drill/refine/transport/pump than you get out of them.
So it is so much better than what we have today without changing much - kinda a bridge fuel to whatever is next |
I was just playing devil's advocate for the treehuggers. Biodiesel only helps the economic isues, not the environmental. If Subaru would put out a turbodiesel hybrid Forester, I'd go get a babymomma and sell my lovechild for one.
