You don't understand that bio-diesel still creates greenhouse gases. The amount of greenhouse gases created by bio-diesel is not enough of a reduction in greenhouse gases for the catastrophe our planet is facing. You also don't understand that bio-diesel can't be produced in the quantity needed to power civilization. You further don't understand that growing bio-diesel takes badly needed land away from growing much needed food for an ever increasing population.
