It's not an easy time to be a biofuel promoter. Plug-ins are getting all of the automaker and government support, and lingering questions about biofuel's impact on the environment and food prices can have people shying away.

If you're looking for a few simple answers to these questions, then the National Biodiesel Board would like you to download a new PDF called "Biodiesel Myths Busted." The brochure includes helpful items like this one:
The PDF also covers issues of biodiesel's shelf life, whether there is a biodiesel fuel standard, how it operates in cold weather and its effect on food prices. Get it here.
