I've heard of fuel made from soybeans. Think how using such a fuel would help farmers. I'd so much rather see our money go to American soybean farmers than middle east oil-rich countries.

You want a real "alternative" to fossil fuels? Biodiesel. It is made from vegetable oil. You can make it from used fry grease for that matter. No modifications needed for diesel engines. No foriegn oil. No waiting 10-20 years for reasonable production. It burns cleaner and is better for the engine. Good for the air, good for the car, good for the country. I'm sold.

I knew nothing about this stuff until I recently bought an older diesel truck. Unfortunetly it is not popular here in California (maybe because nobody has heard of it!). Here are a couple of links:

  www.biodiesel.org
  www.biodieselnow.com

If you drive a diesel start asking for it. I plan on going out of my way to use the only retailer in San Diego that sells a biodiesel product (20% formulation). And everytime I fill up I plan to nag for the 100% formula.
