I'm going to be a bit sceptical on this one. It kind of sounds like a "greeny" with an axe to grind. See the preference toward "renewable", solar, wind, hydrogen, none of which are really applicalbe to private vehicles. All to often research is done in a manner to provide a desired result. I think you would find that hydrogen would be way worse as far as taking more energy to make than it yields.
a new analysis from Cornell and the University of California at Berkeley....hum...Berkeley with an ax to grind, o-please tell me it ain't so....I would need at least four other sources and five other studies before I would put stock in this one, Berkeley has a history of being a bit out there...I know I survived the sixties

Yes indeed. The results are often established way before the criteria to ascertain / justify the results.

well I use Bio-diesel. I'm not going to stop on just this one story, if you what to call it that. need vidoe of my truck melting befor i stop, hope to use more in the future.
this is a new field and some of the bug need to be work out.
As far as I'm concerned anything that reduces our dependency on foreign oil and helps our farmers is a good thing. Even if it doesn't save me any money.

I agree and the city and college near me use Bio-Diesel and never had a problem with it.
>>Ethanol and biodiesel do not provide nearly as much energy as it takes to create them, according to a new analysis from Cornell and the University of California at Berkeley.<<
Until they keep doing it and streamline the process.
And also when the tentacles of Big Oil are cut back so as to allow freer development.
So what if it costs a bit more now? At least your kids will live long enough to give you grandkids.
How much would you pay for that?
I would have to say BS on that one. It doesn't seem resonable that it cost more to refine diesel than it is to make soy. Soy doesn't have to be pumped out of the ground.It grows right here where we use it. I don't know the whole process of making soy but I would think it cost alot less than making diesel. Bio-diesel is really two differnt things soy and waste veggy oil. WVO doesn't cost more than $.70 a gal to make and if diesel cost less than that to make I will kiss those Cornell kids butts in public on the street corner. Even if it did cost more to make who cares its less foreign oil we will be useing. Our grandkids will thank us someday.

I'm doing my part to reduce our dependency on foreign oil and clean up the environment; my truck runs on 100% biodiesel made from soybean oil grown by U.S. farmers. What are you doing?
If you read the article, it says 2 researchers, so I REALLY wonder about the validity of the article and the website.
