Probably the most clueless article on biodiesel - ever.

The gasoline alternative is called biodiesel, and it's made from a mixture of diesel gasoline and vegetable oil, such as soy or corn. The vegetable oil is nontoxic and biodegradable.
But hey at least it's not another article about how old diesels belch smoke, though a little talk about algae would have been useful. But obviously that's way above this journalist's head.
