Sentiments are agreed on use.

As far as feedstock though, ANYTHING is better for yield than soy. Just that the soy farmers got together and found an alternative use for their product.

Some #'s: Soy=60gal/acre, Canola=120gal/acre, Oil Palm=600gal/acre, algae=16-20,000gal/acre.

So..., if you're willing to grow an algae farm on a few acres, you're in the $'s!!!
Gotta link to where you got those numbers? Seems like I have seen something like that but can't keep track of all of this info. A plantation based on fish farming and biodiesel production could be a go.
