Biodiesel Fuel Raises Hopes of Greening Cars

"With renewable fuels seen as a way to end the nation’s dependence on foreign oil, more drivers are turning to biodiesel, a fuel made from the chemical reaction of mixing animal fat or vegetable oil — even recycled grease from French fries — with methanol and lye.

Emissions can be substantially lower than those from a petroleum-powered vehicle — up to 78 percent less carbon dioxide, according to a study by two federal agencies, the Departments of Energy and Agriculture. That may account for its growing popularity: 225 million gallons of biodiesel were produced in 2006, up from 75 million in 2005, according to the National Biodiesel Board. Enthusiasts were pleased when President Bush, in his State of the Union address last month, called for the expanded use of clean diesel vehicles and biodiesel fuel."

When you think of it ... it's really easy, isn't it? So why won't people understand. It's time to stop talking, and start acting. It's simply a matter of money. The car industry and the oil industry depends on our (the consumers) money. If we refuse to give them our money, they will be forced to make some changes.
