Another (actually the same) word: Biodiesel

any liquid or gaseous fuel.

the highly touted gasoline fuel cell).
Only electricity from solar, geothermal, tidal, wind and nuclear have lower
total greenhouse gas emissions.
Higher renewability than ANY fuel source other than solar, tidal, wind.
Lower toxicity than table salt.
Biodegrades as quickly as sugar.
Contains no chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer.
Not regulated by the EPA as a hazardous substance.
In use since 1901.
Can be made at home.

Can be mixed in any percentage ratio with petroleum diesel.
Smells better, too.
