While corn-based ethanol is a government scam, other measures may not be. Biodiesel can be made from waste vegetable oil, which while not a solution for the masses, is a viable niche market. For larger scale, <a href="http://www.oilgae.com/" rel="nofollow">algae-based biodiesel</a> uses sunlight as the only input and does not impact the food supply.<br><br>Mike Adams has some kind (preliminary) words for this source as well. From your link:<br><br><i>The only truly promising biofuels technology available today is based on microalgae. Feed CO2 to a vat of algae, and you can produce biofuels cheaply and responsibly, without destroying the environment. But these programs are only in experimental phases. Nobody is producing biofuels on a large scale from algae farms (not yet, anyway).<br></i><br><br>Now can we get this in our next energy bill?verplanckWed, 23 Apr 2008 11:47:47 -0000http://washingtonindependent.disqus.com/gi_bill_on_the_move/#comment-1789500We've been deficit spending for most of this war, is that news to Jim Cooper?
