Why is it good. I thought you needed water to produce the raw material for bio-fuel and Australia is seriously lacking that commodity at the moment. We will end up importing it instead of oil. Maybe all the rice and cotton fields can be used for it.
I just cant see why there is a rush for bio-fuel in a world that
a) cant feed its people.
b) Can ill afford to have jungles cleared to produce bio-fuel raw material.
c) older diesels will run on used cooking oil.
Find something else.
