Orange You Glad We Didn't Say Switchgrass? Fruit may be the latest source for biofuel madness		21 Jun 2007	Daily Grist
Orange You Glad We Didn't Say Switchgrass? Fruit may be the latest source for biofuel madness Could your kumquat power your Kia? A team of U.S. scientists has made a low-carbon fuel from fructose, the sugar in many fruits. It could be a better bet than ethanol, with 40 percent more energy, less vulnerability to water, and more stability; since it can also be made from plant cellulose, it could also skirt the foo ...

Progress Doesn't Pay North Carolina fines driver for not paying taxes on vegetable-oil fuel A kerfuffle in North Carolina shows what might be in store for users of DIY fuel: the state fined a veggie-oil-burning driver $1,000 for not paying fuel taxes, told him to expect a $1,000 fine from the feds, and informed him that he'd have to post a $2,500 bond to be allowed to use veggie oil.
