Re: gas prices
I read an article that claimed it takes as much energy to produce BioDiesel as we get out of it. So the gross energy out minus the energy required to cultivate the crops, refine it, and get it to market equals zero net gain, and possibly a net loss...
As far as fuel prices go, everyone wants to blame Big Oil but if you've taken any economy classes you know that the market (supply/demand) sets the price. One exception to that is taxes. Did you know that the tax revenue on gas/oil in this country is GREATER than the private sector profit margins?
