You need to factor in the benefits of biodiesel and renewable energy sources compared to non-renewable. I recall reading a numberof years ago that Brazillian diesels ran mostly on biodiesel.

There was an article in today's Denver paper about the EPA's new regulations on off-road diesels.

Don't forget that all these judgments are relative. What are the alternatives and what kind of costs are associated with them?
