I asked about bio diesel when I first got on this
line. Someone responded with a good, but not rel
event argument about why that was not a practical
alternative to gasoline. But my question was and
still is: is it feasible for a small farmer or
homesteader to have his/her own bio diesel plant?
When I googled it I didn't find a site that addressed
that issue in terms I was comfortable with.
