I drive a bio-diesel car filled with 99.9% biodiesel in my business every day. I do it because I wish to operate outside of the gas & oil economy.

I am concerned that bio-fuel would replace food crops and drive up food prices worldwide, but at the same time - that is by far not the only factor affecting food prices worldwide & it is not a reason to go back to petroleum fuel. It is a reason to innovate furtherso that bio-fuels exist alongside food crops and use non-edible or recycled bio-materials for fuel creation.
