Bio-Diesel Sucks

Biodiesel Sucks

Bio-Diesel Sucks. Yes it does. Well certain versions definitely fit that bill and have been supported by politicians who clearly had part of the equation right but made some serious miscalculations in their haste to find an alternative solution to fossil fuels.

Now the price of wheat and corn are soaring. Not only that but a lower quality, high starch variety is being produced in corn and wheat to make this into a biodiesel fuel source. Even using that product for people is not great since they have reduced the protein.

The major mistake is using food sources such as wheat and corn to produce this alternative source of fuel. Of course there is another way. One such way involves the usage of algae to produce this alternative fuel source. On a recent tv program one of the scientists said the yield per acre is some 180 times more using algae compared to what they can produce using wheat or corn.

Time to start diverting some of the buckets of money they are and have fueled into producing biodiesel from wheat and corn and do the research needed to get the system switched over to alternatives such as algae.

So come on out of the closet and help save the planet.Of course this is not the only way to help, still it is a start.
