The creation and usage of bio-diesel is brilliant; why not take something that would otherwise be considered waste and make it in to a valuable resource! But I think it is a slippery slope to create ethanol from a food source (specifically corn). Ethanol isn't even as efficient as petrol, and its creation only serves to increase the price of corn...

Sure bio-diesel can be created from vegetable oil, but when using waste vegetable oil we are truely getting more mileage from something that has already served its purpose. I hear people crying fowl about the increasing cost of corn due to ethanol production, but nothing said about bio-diesel.

Do any of you see bio-diesel taking a hit to the image due to this?
