So, I don't know enough about biofuels. But I think from what I do know, we'd be better off with Plain Old Electric Vehicles.
Even so I can't help liking Uptown Oil, a company which collects used chip fat from restaurants, cleans it up and sells it back to cabbies for about 10% less than diesel. At least it stops all that bad stuff going down the plughole: apparently we're pouring 400 tonnes of fat down London drains each month, and 500 tonnes at Christmas. So that's the market size right there, if they can collect it.
Somewhat disgustingly, Thames Water have put a video of this on youtube. Follow the link if you want to see what 400 tonnes of Turkey dripping looks like from the inside of a London sewer.
Eeyughk.
