i don't know if ethanol is considered a biodeisel (since it is made out of corn), but i'm pretty sure it's no vegetable oil...and I think it's safe to say we're a helluva lot closer to switching to that than anything else. It surprises me that barely anybody has even heard of E85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gas). There are pumps for this stuff too (yes actual gas stations that pump this stuff), and it takes a whole let less work on your car to use it than any other fuel substitute. There have been ethanol plants springing up all over here in nebraska too. I think it's safe to say that ethanol is the next big thing (much more realistic than vegetable oils anyway).
