I personally don't want to drive following a non-clean diesel.

As to the other emissions, as Gary Locke, the former governor of Washington state once said, "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good". Biodiesel is a big improvement on dino-diesel or regular gasoline, but that's another forum ...

There is a study saying "up to nine times as much carbon dioxide will be emitted using biofuels compared to conventional petrol and diesel because biofuel crops are typically grown on land which is burnt and reclaimed from tropical forests".

I'm negative to a plug-in hybrid vehicle.
Our Prius as gas-electric hybrid is already rated very good (104g/km in UK).
A plug-in is usually done at night time and the electric supply is adjusted by a thermal power generation such as oil, coal and gas.
The CO2 emision is not good as current Prius.
