Good afternoon,

 

I'm hearing a lot of negative feedback regarding ethanol as an
alternative fuel. Here is a short article from Fortune magazine which
discusses an alternative source for biodiesel. Is this common already
and I've just missed it? Any other thoughts or comments?

 

"BP's answer to food-based ethanol: The oil giant believes an inedible
plant called jatropha can ease global fuel demands. It could boost
incomes in Africa and other impoverished regions too."
