"An acre of 100 mature trees might thus be able to produce 25 barrels of fuel per year. Unfortunately, in the United States the tree would probably grow only in Southern Florida."


IF we get enough global warming we can grow 'em all the way to Maine. The way they collect the diesel fuel from the tree sounds just like catching maple syrup in buckets.

So, any ideas? Is it the predicted yield a pipe dream or is it a scam? Anyone ever seen this before?
