A better energy source isn't going to be sold to the masses until the more economical alternative is eliminated. It isn't too hard for other countries why is it such a mountain to North Americans??????? news.bbc.co.uk Green biodiesel production starts The first lorry-load of biodiesel has left the Argent plant Commercial production of green fuel at the UK's first large scale biodiesel plant has now started. The first tanker-load of useable fuel, made from used cooking oil and animal fats, has been picked up from the Argent Energy plant at Motherwell. It is expected that the green fuel will shortly be available at forecourts. The news has been welcomed by Prime Minister Tony Blair, Secretary of State for Transport Alistair Darling, and Enterprise Minister Jim Wallace. The load is part of a contract between Argent Energy and Petroplus which could see up to 25,000 tonnes of biodiesel a year making its way to refineries in Grangemouth and in Teesside. Once there, it will be blended with mineral diesel and marketed under the Bio-plus brand on filling station forecourts.
