what is necessary to add to ethanol to make it an ideal fuel? how about an
engine designed to burn it. gas engines are not.
diesel engines however are ideal for biodiesel, from whatever source of oil.
ethanol is a good additive to gasoline (better than MTBE) and not a bad
additive to happy

Yes, Keith is right, that is not an inherent problem of rapeseed -
traditional rapeseed would be fairly easily controlled by herbicide (same as
most weeds), as would volunteer Canola - the original Canola, that is, which

I am sorry to hear about the poor bus system Greg. I live in Portland, OR
and the bus system here is great. I take the bus to school, work, play, and
everything inbetween. The bus system seems to run on time + or - 5 minutes
at the most. The main problem here, in my opinion, is that the

I don't think that's a valid arguement against buses anyway, most places
have long-term bus passes you
can buy, or are given to you by school, welfare, jobfare, etc. They aren't that
much, if you had any
interest in regular bus use, of course you'd buy one, then it makes no
