A thought provoking article on biofuel from 2005 research at Cornell and UC-Berkeley. Have the ensuing 7 years changed the economics using their parameters?

I have long thought that one needs to "follow the money" on this hyped fuel. The Camelina based alternative fuel does intrigue me. The inputs appear to be significantly less then the output. Steve Camp of LaCrosse, Wa. is involved in a study and it looks very positive as an alternative to diesel. In Summary: -- he is self sufficient, processes his own fuel, takes approximately 1/6th of his acres to grow all his needs. To me, this has real potential.
