Tap trees for diesel, yet I still wish people would use that novel form of transportation known as walking more often...

Aah, another oil source among the wonders of Nature.
15 years is a long turnaround.
Cannabis would give a turnaround within months - yes for fuel for vehicles. Mr Ford knew that one. And Jack Herer knows Henry Ford knew...

the Brazilian Copaifera langsdorfii, to use its botanical name, can be tapped not unlike a rubber tree, but instead of yielding rubbery latex it gives up a natural diesel.

It is disgusting to me that this has been known in the Western world since 1625! Yeah! Very Disturbing! Do the governments of the world Really want to improve the state of the planet's health? It makes you wonder... Not only would this provide a renewable resource, but the oxygen produced by the trees would help our planet significantly as well! I mean come on, with all of our vacant land in the USA, Australia, Canada...come on... I hope that everyone can spread this tidbit of information around to get some buzz on the issue! I am amazed at nature once again! Kimberly :) http://ExoticAnimalLover.com

"Because, the Brazilian Copaifera langsdorfii, to use its botanical name, can be tapped not unlike a rubber tree, but instead of yielding rubbery latex it gives up a natural diesel. According to the nurseryman selling the trees, one hectare will yield about 12,000 litres annually."
