Jathropa Plant - Promising Biofuel resource

That Jathropa plant is another flash in the pan thing by the corporations,if you remember deuterium it has earned wide attention not only here but also in other developed countries,but where it is now.The oil corporations won't let another source of energy other than oil because it will diminished their earnings in great proportion.Nuclear energy is the cheapest and practical source of energy,but they won't let developing countries to gain on that energy.Proof of what i am saying is the nuclear power plant in Bataan,they (corporations)resisted it,and then Cory junk it.Every developed countries has one or two nuclear power plants like Japan,USA,Taiwan,or South Korea,so what is behind the resistance against nuclear energy.The greed for profit is the answer.You remember the solar energy,at first they are pushing for that,but the machinery and the maintenance to operate a solar reactor will cost millions.Besides that a country must first be self sufficient in terms of agricultural crop,my god we are importing rice and vegetables in China and other countries,and you will add this Jathropa to our crop,it will lessen our staple crop more.

My friend's thesis is all about BioFuel. It is true that we can use the Jathropa plant plant to produce fuel oils. We can really produce oils from them but we need a lot of the seeds. The advantage of using this plant is that the plant produces seeds throughout the year. What we only need now is the support of the government to make Philippines a producer of BioFuels.

Anyone or corporation with the means to venture into biofuel would definetely make big bucks. With the rising cost of fuel, whoever can bring about an alternative fuel solution for a cheaper price will eventually rule the market. Many corporations in Asia Pacific are actually researching into this venture. I do hope they will be successful so that we would not have to pay high fuel cost each year. With inflation rising like flood waters, it is time for a fuel change.
