<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">From Shane Goldberg, Comsewogue HS, Port Jefferson Station <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">These very concerns were addressed in the documentary film **"Fuel".** They specificallyaddressed why the biodiesel momentum fell flat just as it was taking off. In 2004 articles came out blasting the fuelsource for driving up food prices- new technology is utilizing plants forbiodiesel that are not food stock, plants that are hearty enough to not needthe input of fertilizers and pesticides. In some cases the plants could be used to restore farmland that is notarable. I can't speak to whether or not the industry is utilizing all of the practices shown in the film- but at least one company (referenced in the movie) is working on these solutions.
