Biodiesel is an all around good deal, especially for fleet work. Time to invest in biodiesel. Renewable diesel also sounds interesting. I believe there's room for both in the market, especially at $2.80+/gal. When we see large fleet carriers converting we'll know it's come of age.
The heretic is interesting.

Good selection again MHA. The China surveillance item makes me appreciate this great country. Though the left thinks we far surpass them in monitoring. The idea generator is neat. Dyson will be some interesting reading. Alas the 'perfect crystal' link is inop.

The Dyson piece is excellent. His anecdote concerning Crick should be in the forward to any science text.
I guess, in coming years Bio-diesel going to rule in energy sector. I prefer Bio-diesel from Jetropha, since it is economical and pollution free than any other method and raw material...
