I also won't use virgin oil or BD made from it.
IMHO only recycled cooking oil should be used for fuel.

I'm with you!
I was merely pointing out that while many folks thing ethanol from Brazil is the greatest thing to be "environmentally friendly" that is simply NOT the case. In my mind, the future is with bio-diesel since it can be made in areas which do not support other crops. Ethanol is not going to go anywhere other than give people "warm fuzzies".

I can only assume that since the costs of other staples like wheat and corn have gone up the demand for rice increases and it too goes up.
