[Sustainable-biodiesel] Tallow Tree

[Erik Hoffner]

Anyone heard of plans to grow chinese tallow tree in
the US for sustainable biodiesel production? I hadn't,
but details are attached. 

It's very invasive, so the idea in the attached pdf is
to genetically modify it with the terminator gene,
which is, well, disappointing. Guess I'd rather do
without such a beast if that's the deal.
