Am I reading you right Neil? Do you mean that veg oil deisel CO2 is counteracted by growing new crops but ordinary fossil fuel diesel isn't counteracted by anything? I'm a bit confused because I thought CO2 was CO2 regardless and that burning anything caused nasty emmissions.

There was a news topic on the radio this morning about the "opportunity" for air travellers to check up on how polluting their flight is going to be and then they can opt to pay a compensating sum to be used to help third world countries develop non-polluting energy. Am I alone in thinking this may not be a very popular idea amongst air travellers?
