your 35-70 cent sacrifice. Or you can think of it another way, thats
money going back into the US economy, not sent to the middle east to
prop up corrupt dictatorships.
I'm not big on subsidies for things that are not economically feasable. If a
bunch of folks want to get together privatly and make the stuff and sell it to
each other, that is fine. But until it is competetive with other fuels,
taxpayers whould not be footing the bill.
If it is denser, as the description of power and economy implies (like diesel
versus avgas, fewer gallons per hour but a gallon weighs more) maybe it isn't a
bad deal. Do you happen to know the density of biofuel versus diesel, or the
BTU's per unit volume or anything like that?
