yupper...  biodiesel is an excellent choice for diesel and oil heat,
because the entire conversion is just pouring it into the tank.
butanol is the first bio option i've seen that matches that ease for
spark engines - eg. can 'retrofit' a vast proportion of the existing
car fleet -right-now-.  ethanol cannot, but it has its place in making
biodiesel even if nothing else.  butanol can possibly also address the
achilles heel of biodiesel, as it's apparently fully mixable without
affecting ignition characteristics and lowers the 'wax point', which
is fairly high for biodiesel [20-30 *f].

but for fixed consumers solar, wind, geo, hydro all have parts to
play.  i note with interest that some dams are being removed from
rivers up here, for the benefit of fishermen.
