Did you know that Diesel developed his engine to allow farmers autonomy by making fuel out of their crops? Neither did I, but this article says so. It also has a lot of good information on how to make your own bio-diesel, the benefits, costs, and where to get it if you want to put it in your gas tank. In California it can even be used as low-emissions fuel under state law. If I owned land, I'd be finding a way to refine and sell this stuff.
