I've not read this whole debate, but one should remember to verify the quality and veracity of any source of information before responding to it. There is an amazing amount of distortion of data out there (primarily from the right wing, but leftists aren't above fixing things either). The

The beauty (in the truest sense of the word) of the diesel engine is that it can run on LOTS of things. So it is inconsequential that bio-fuels from virgin feedstocks could never run every diesel engine in the world. As long as the US govt pays farmers to keep MILLIONS of acres out of
