Biodiesel seems to be a very effective way to go, and this particular idea
is quite remarkable.
There's one BIG question, though: Where are the diesel-powered vehicles?
Oh - I know there are trucks around that use diesel; even "smaller" trucks,
for which, I was told by an owner, the automobile companies charge as much
as $8000 as a premium. And I know that VW has a few small vehicles that
operate on diesel (as does Mercedes), but there's a huge silence from the
"Big Three" when it comes to offering diesel on most of their cars... and,
surprisingly - their SUVs.
This last part is beyond my comprehension. To me, the most effective use
for diesel would be in any of the SUVs (I have one and I love it,
particularly in the Canadian winter) that are being produced. I even wrote
to an automobile journalist who published an article on diesel (Audi's Le
Mans win using a diesel-powered racing car), but... silence.
It sure looks like a conspiracy of silence to me. Try searching for diesel
information on the websites of the "Big Three."

I was ready to pony up some money for penny stocks until I counted the

in fancy soap wrappers is back in town. Gosh ! Get in line quick.
