Doesn't even have to be biodiesel. It just takes a kit, some elbow grease and a few trips to McD's for vegetable oil, but most of all, it takes commitment, even if among only a handful of people. That may be what is lacking in the population at large, which would make it unsustainable as a widespread solution, but it can still be done.

Fingers crossed!
