Most of these trees are part of "living fences" that were planted by the Portuguese and others more than 300 years ago.

Animals wont eat the fruit, so they won't carry the seeds elsewhere. We also weed constantly, so rouge trees would be quickly dug up. It takes almost a year before jatropha trees start bearing fruit, so they will be fairly slow to spread.</p> <p>I could see grasses and reeds getting out of hand quickly. Much of the US is covered with European grasses and other invasive species. I love how we Americans are always giving out great advise on biodiversity and preservation of natural resources when our own country has been devastated. The USA bears little resemblance to the country that was here before European settlement.</p> I plant jatropha by collecting seeds from existing local trees.

We will have ridden ourselves of a major cause of all our cancers when we reduce petroleum use. The next step is depleted Uranium super batteries to make plug-in cars a workable option, reducing even further the demand for even bio-fuels.</p> Bio-fuels and bio-diesel hybrid/electric cars that make these fuels go further are only part of the picture.

There's another company doing something similar. The founder is named Dr. Santilli, and he patented the gas he produces by organic wastes called MagneGas and he even renamed the molecules, magnecules. Not only is this clean energy but vehicles using MagneGas to power them produce oxygen while running. This is similar technology to HHO as described on http://www.SaveGasSaveEarth.com</p> This is great news. There’s another company doing something similar.

Damage from invasive species already costs the world more than $1.4 trillion annually. But now a new report says that biofuel crops could also become invasive species — and that the risk needs to be evaluated before these crops are planted.

They convert activated sewage sludge into hydrogen using bacteria, and the bacterial reaction is self-propigating because the bacteria double every 24 minutes. Very cool stuff.</p> There’s a company called Nanologix that’s been working with Welch’s Grape Juice to turn their waste-water into energy.
