Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

"I mean, this is essentially agriculture, right? But the people I talk to — especially the ones coming out of business school — this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into."

He means bugs. To be more precise: the genetic alteration of bugs — very, very small bacteria — so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as wood chips or wheat straw, they do something extraordinary. They excrete crude oil.

God's gift to mankind.

And Big Oil will probably make a concerted effort to block research.

I remember a while back where a chicken rancher was making fuel out of chicken droppings. Very high in methane you know.

You know....there have been theories that oil is not a non-replenishing resource. Maybe they just discovered what God has been doing for millions of years.....Turning dinosaurs, dead trees, etc. into oil for us to use...
