Bisa saja kesulitan berbalik menjadi berkah. Jokowi sudah menugaskan pembangunan pabrik biodiesel dari kelapa sawit dengan cara transesterifikasi memakai metanol atau etanol, dengan katalisaor NaOH, atau KOH atau HSO4. Mau buat B100 untuk mengganti minyak diesel dengan biodisel pada pembangkit listrik tenaga diesel. Dengan ini import BBM bisa dikurangi. Kalau toch sebagian perkebunan kelapa sawit terpaksa ditutup, bisa dipikirkan untuk diubah jadi ladang jagung, cassave dll. untuk tepungnya diubah jadi etanol dengan proses fermentasi. Kalau di daerah banyak air bisa diubah jadi sawah. Sudah saatnya untuk mengoptimalisasi produksi minyak kelapa sawit. Luas arealnya berkurang, tetapi produksi per ha nya harus naik. Hanya saja sawah baru itu hasilnya tidak sebanyak sawah lama, karena lapisan bawahnya belum kedap air. Air dan pupuk banyak yang hilang masuk terus ke bawah. Jadi kalau 1 juta ha sawah hilang untuk pembangunan jalan, untuk diubah fungsi jadi perumahan, kalau diganti dengan 1 juta sawah baru, beras terpaksa harus diimport karena sawah baru hasilnya pada tahun pertama hasilnya baru setengahnya sawah lama.
