Anti Biodiesel

It's all good that we can save the world by not emitting green house gases in our daily life. Especially in LA - Where the limit of the city sprawled just so much and without cars, living a life is just not possible.

But I want to point out something. Those biodiesel cars... that suppose to burn any vegetable oil from all those restaurants.. I know several people driving biodiesel cars and being really proud of themselves driving biodiesel powered motor vehicle. And I don't blame them, actually I respect them as taking initiative to make our world better by not burning any other fuels that creates pollution. Especially I know that they are one of the people who really cares about the place we live.

I want to blame the one who is using the innocent intention of those who want to make cleaner earth. I know that there's this restriction that it is required to use qualified biodiesel, which is not the vegetable oil from Chinese restaurant. I am little lazy right now to dig up the google to find the specific data of that, because I am on brake from school - so I may not be able to back my self up with the scientific data. But this is as much as I know..

To use qualified bio diesel, which cost above $3.00 / gallon, the user need to go to specific location to fill up their tank. Those biodiesel are provided by specific company which processes / produces the biodiesel from genetically transformed corns grown from land. And I know that to drive certain mileage (as I remember something like 1000 mile), it takes 1acre of land amounts of corn. I already know that the the seeds of the corns are from the big biotech companies like Monsanto - and those are not cheap either..

So those people + government who are trying to control over the alternative energy source... and the idea of getting the energy that requires big agriculture - they are the stuff I am against. Still, I am glad some are trying something else to make things better. Yet, unless there's truly free energy sources and the way of using it is freely available, I don't think it is right way to call it alternative energy source, and there's nothing really cool about it.

By the way, I am also anti green movement. :p
