  Biodiesel made from WASTE, not agriculture.

  I love Lester Brown and have seen him speak on his book "Eco-Economy".  I was disappointed to see that his response to the question about biofuels as a bridge only looked at it from the agriculture standpoint.  Yes, he's right, using agriculture products to make biofuel is a step in the wrong direction, BUT most of the makers of biofuel use WASTE oil in the process, in which case it makes tons of sense.

  I think a more appropriate answer would have been that biofuels make no sense unless made with WASTE products (like waste vegetable oil from restaurants), and when that is the case, biofuels are a fantastic bridge.

  I know it can be done; my truck runs on waste vegetable oil.

  We need as many solutions as we can find.  On An interview with the founder of Worldwatch and Earth Policy Institute posted 3 years, 9 months ago 7 Responses
