    jatropha

    It is not a food source, grows in wasteland and arid conditions, takes little water, can be cold pressed.

    So far I have heard of three promising horses:
    cellulistic ethanol- makes ethanol
    algea - makes biodiesel
    jatropha - makes biodiesel

    Any thoughts as to which will be the winner or do you know of another horse?
