Even more interesting to me is that a real renewable source of
biodiesel is Algae and the studies done in the US have shown that we
could grow enough using a very small percentage of available farm
acres to completetly replace what we currently depend on in foreign
imports which I think I read is around 150 billion gallons annually.

Actually the used oil from Chineese resturants is the best to recycle for
biodiesel. It suppose to be the cleanest. I once read an article about a
person in Washington state who recycled is own oil in the garage( there is a
company there that sells these units). He said when he drives down the street
the people who follow him start getting off the freeways and drive into a fast
food resturant. Talk about power of persausion. The fast food industry
should jump on this in a heart beat!Harry J. Armenia Linda Guiffre "CABARET"

What Mike says is true. At the biodiesel refinery across the freeway, they
have a pilot test going to convert the algae to biodiesel. One of the owners
of the plant says it really is the best source. They have a huge acreage
growing the algae. And in Texas they have algae farmers who grow the stuff
and ship it to the various plants.

It is a real technology, and one that initial trial runs which seem to be
happening in 2008 show promise.
Low cost to implement production, uses existing infrastructure for down
stream distribution and consumption, does not compete for productive farm
land (Food to Fuel). Lots to be said for it.
They have completed a trial run:
