Post by: Range Rover Blues on March 28, 2008, 18:37:48: The demand for biofuel is pushing up the price. Pluss if you think (read know) that the chancellor is a greedy person he's nothing next to some of the larger farming 'interests'.

Remember how the fields started to be covered in rape when you were a kid? all the farms round here stopped growing grain of any sort and planted rape because it was the 'new thing'.

So bread will go up because of damend, less people are growing it because there's more money in biofuel oils.

Ironically the yanks are now buying grain from Europe for this reason, even though they grow better grain than we do, 60 years ago the trade went the other way.

Biodiesel is made from USED veg oil isn't it?

Biodiesel is made from USED veg oil isn't it?
Home made is, commercial uses fresh raw oil, bio-fuel includes petrol replacement alcohols, ethanol mainly, so plants for that need space to be grown too...
