Bob,
You are incorrect in your ASSUMPTIONS also. There are plenty of lands that are not forested or wetlands (real or newly created) that are viable for camelina production but not practical for mass food production.
The problem with biodiesel usage is that long term use of biodiesel significantly shorten the life span of an engine due to carbon buildup either on the injectors or the combustion chamber. There are reputable dealers of products that can reduce this problem but don’t eliminate it.
I once thought to use sunflower oil in my diesel. In doing my research I found 10 different independant studies with identical results. Every one of them showed little short term damage (under 100 hrs of usage). But every one of them was ended prematurely (2000 hours of usage or less). Due to dangerous carbon buildup in the motor that would soon cause catastrophic failure. Also, lubricating oil contamination and damage was significant in long term usage.
