My two cents: I think straight vegetable oil is ok if done correctly. Certainly, bio (soy/canola) diesel is more easily distributed and ready made but I think there are regions of high population density than can take advantage of vegetable oil as fuel source. For example, Mexico City, Shanghai,New Dehli, other mass density cities are are excellent opportunities to use vegetable oil as a source.
