I only added to a discussion on the benefits of diesel vehicles, that biodiesel is a currently-available alternative fuel. I never claimed it was an end-all, be-all replacement for fossil fuels.

Depends on where you live. The vehicles ARE "zero emissions". In my part of the country, 99.9% of the electricity we use is hydro-generated... so the supply chain is "zero emissions" as well. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
