British supermarket now offering B30 biodiesel
The Morrisons supermarket chain in the UK are now offering B30 biodiesel at 50 of the filling stations it operates. The blend of 30 percent biodiesel and 70 percent petro-diesel is one of the highest commercially available concentrations that is actually approved by an automaker. Peugeot and Citroen have certified all the diesel vehicles it has built for the past decade for use with B30. An estimated 1.5 million HDi models from Puegeot/Citroen are warrantied for use with the newly available fuel. The biofuel component of the fuel being offered by Morrisons is comprised of equal parts waste vegetable oil and rapeseed (canola) oil. Ford has not determined whether the diesel engines that it has jointly developed with Peugeot are capable of operating safely on B30.[Source: AutoCar]

When will someone start selling bio-diesel made from green algae instead of foods? It take 24 hours or less to grow a certain quantity of algae with bio-reactors. The anti-hydrogen gang don't tell me that these bio-reactors that we see on youtube are a scam. Rapeseed is way less productive as a feedstock.
Also remember that high financial peoples are subzidizing foods
to be burn and the remaining foods to be trade on the stock market. They are not investing in energy production. They are investing in creating a shortage of everything needed to live then
increasing the price. There is in reality a huge amount of energy.
Petrol, natural gas, foods and if we devellop a little bit more then there is hydrogen, algae bio-diesel, fishs in oceans and lakes if we depollute by switching from petrol to algae bio-farming. The more rapidly the market put on sale the products i want to buy or at least the products im ready to look at at the stores or on internet the faster the prices of everything will fall down like the prices and quality of tv's and computers and dvd players have done.
My next car should cost 15 000$ and cost next to nothing in energy ( hydrogen-algae bio-diesel-battery-gasoline-natural gas, etc) and have performance par with a v8 mustang.

When you learn to speak English and not gibberish, please make a statement.
Biodiesel from algae is a concept, not a product you can get at Loblaw.
"High financial" people know how to communicate clear factual information. Take a hint?
