"A Scottish biofuel company is working toward producing a fuel made from the bi-products of whisky production, capable of powering vehicles".

Have a look.....

I have heard this mentioned a few times in the past. Producing a fuel made from the bi-products of whisky production sounds great but it is the same bi-products that farmers use to feed animals so if all bi-products went to making fuel farmers would would need to pay more for alternative feed for livestock which i am sure would increase the price of food/meat. Is this really worth it for what i am sure will be a very small amount of fuel produced.

Good point James. I am of the opinion that the eventual upgrades and perfection of electric cars will corner the market in time, perhaps a long time for us but in the course of Earth's time line, a "blink away".
