I agree to a point... but I believe the world eats a hell of a lot of fried food and since Biodesiel can be made out of reused cooking oil from deep-fat fryers and other "healthy" eats I think that Biodesiel can supplement a large portion of our imported oil. You may be right in saying that we can't become completely independent of OPEC, but I feel we can dramatically drop our emissions and reliance on Petrol.
Here is a website that further elaborates on what Biodesiel can be made from:

true... and considering thermal expansion has already raised sea levels 4 to 8 inches I wouldn't really worry about lack of water resources. After all the biggest worry of global warming is catastrophic rise of sea levels.
Down the road, however, who knows if we as a society could reverse any existing damage through the use of biofuel. Growing soybeans apparently takes nearly four times as much CO2 out of the atmosphere as the amount of CO2 released in the exhaust from burning soybean oil biodiesel and Sulfur emissions are supposed to be eliminated. If this propaganda is true our society as a whole theoretically could reduce a good portion of greenhouse gases through the use of biodiesel.
