Fuck the Middle East, how about the Midwest?

So I dunno if anyone else has paid much attention to this biodiesel stuff, but I can now get the stuff in Ft. Worth for MUCH cheaper than regular diesel or unleaded gasoline, it requires NO engine conversion (any diesel engine can run off it), and the shit comes from fucking cornfields!

All we're really lacking is a proper distribution system, but existing diesel tanker trucks wouldn't even need their tanks scrubbed out, since as far as I understand the stuff harmlessly mixes with petroleum diesel.

The US Dept of Energy has called it the leading alternative to petroleum fuel, and I would expect right now we should be hearing more about it.

Have you heard anything about it?
