Big breaking news for the fuel economy:
India's Big Plans for Biodiesel by Michael Fitzgerald
"Researchers are developing new methods for cultivating a plant called jatropha."
By processing crops of jatropha, researchers believe they can revolutionize fuel used by the masses. Jatropha is a plant that prospers in any type of soil in tropical regions, especially India.
However, only southwestern states in the U.S., like Arizona or New Mexico, are ready for such a crop. In addition, critics warn that because corn is the leading omniplant in North America, jatropha pioneers will have a hard time making a stake in the fuel economy.
Researchers in India expect to see strides of success made by 2008.
