Futurismic is keeping me interested today. Here's a short but sweet article on some new technology out of Oregon State University that converts vegetable oil directly into biodiesel, bypassing many of the previously required steps, such as lengthy chemical reactions. This could allow farmers to grow their own fuel. Think how much fuel could be saved if it didn't take fuel to transport more fuel!!

It's about time that someone get excited about alternative fuels - if only the "Oil Giants" could move over and let the little guys get in there to help the economy! Imagine the possibility of everybody going to the grocery store to simply buy Veggie oil to "gas up" your car! But then the price would probably skyrocket under the guise of "supply and demand" (pretty much the only thing I recall from HS Personal Finance class). How easy is it to change one's car to a biodesil anyway? Sounds like a pretty good idea to me right now.
