question is, can biodiesel market supply enough to completely convert current dino diesel market?

Good point, Sherlock. What are most of the cars in the US? You paying for them to switch to diesel? Not everybody likes diesel. Next point. When gas prices go up, you won't be affected, right? Guess you get to laugh at the people who fill up. Only, don't forget to laugh at yourself when you go to the grocer and buy food since that price will go up. Oh, never mind, you won't notice it. Biodiesel will not supply a lot of other stuff that oil will. It also gets less mpg and has a paint stripping feature about it.
Probably not without some major changes. Even if it supplied the current markets, it won't support the markets if people switched to biodiesel.
