Biofuel

The Jouneyforever site is one of the best site I have visited regarding the subject of biofuel.  As you may know, interest on this subject exploded and waned with the cost-barrel of traditional oil sources (crude oil). With the Iraq war, interests peaked again but not with fervor anticipated. Why? because the cost-per-barrel is suppose to plummet down to more "descent" levels. A blip-to-be-forgotten. 

I distinctly remember the 1974 oil crisis. That one was a real shocker. If Americans have any doubt what sanctions do, think again. Things got so bad that the tar sands of Alberta and in the US were starting to look economically viable. Remember this, we did not have an ENERGY crisis, we had a crude oil supply crisis. The sad and GOOD thing is that solutions are "at-hand." One of them is the use of diesel engine. Unfortunately, here in the US, the passenger car driven by diesel was dis-favored -- what a shame!!!! Frankly we are really asking for problems. The causes of this preference had nothing to do with the concept of dieseling, you can thank the lousy US engineering of the several last decade and the ugly unconscionable capitalist manipulation of the US consumer mind. This is a very sensitive subject indeed -- almost of an "unspoken" nature.

Now let me get OFF my soapbox and let you judge for yourself. All I can tell you is that the future is not as dark as it seems. With little "tweaks" here and there, there are many elegant solution. Take a look at: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_yield.html

Please note that this a BIG site. Make sure you examine all the nooks and crannies. Have fun!
