Nearly all of the biofuels problems relate to ethanol not biodiesel. The myoptic media likes to lump them together for their dumbed-down audience.

At the farmstead scale, Fuelfarmer has shown biodiesel can be successfully done in Virginia with a small percent of cropland, comparable to what one would set aside for feeding draft animals traditionally.

Big oilcrop producers find they can get a high value food oil product and biodiesel can be made from the 'waste' and substandard crop percent.

It's not feasible to replace any significant portion of the diesel fuel market with biodiesel, however enough can be produced to be used as a fuel additive for all petro-diesel to make it burn cleaner and reduce toxic pollution
