    I researched biodiesel before purchasing my Prius. Much research showed that biodiesel is not an environmentally sound means of alternative energy. Cleared land, pesticides and herbicides and mechanized (petroleum driven) farm equipment offsets any benefits to the environment. Additionally, in cold climates, the fuel can be problematic.
