Sounds good, but more study and domestication will be needed. I especially like the fact that it can thrive in ground that won’t grow corn, therefore it is not in direct competition for resources needed for food production. Now if we could just safely use waste water or brackish water to grow it.

Good question. I hadn’t heard of this oil before, and the potential competition between biofuel and food worried me.

p.s. everyone. It is spelled Jatropha.
