A Viable Biofuel?
natural rah writes "A laboratory in India has developed a process for making diesel fuel from an inedible plant which grows in barren wastelands. Although biofuels are mass produced and used in USA and EU, they have been traditionally derived from edible oils like soy bean and rapeseed. Using edible oils to make fuels is evidently not an option in a country like India. This fuel is "carbon neutral" (at least theoretically), has potential to make good use of barren wastelands, is clean and sustainable.

What is "rapeseed"? Is that what happens to soy beans in prison?
Yes. Remove the heavy engine and transmission, and refit the vehicle with a mast and sails.
Plan your trips based on the forecasted wind-direction.
