Can you give me the name and number of the gentleman from Santa Barabara who is growing Jatropha plants? We have 75 unused acres of property that they maybe can use to grow more of these plants... Thanks so much, C. Nameth 213-407-7222 Hello!

May have been straight oil, according to the original AP article. Here is the email I sent to the AP to get clarification from the writer, Ray Lilley: Hi Ray - your article about the Air New Zealand flight being powered by 50% jatropha oil is making its way into blogs and magazines around the world. However, what is not clear is exactly what kind of biofuel was used. Was it truly jatropha oil, was it biodiesel made from jatropha oil, or was it some other kind of "biofuel" synthesized from jatropha oil? This is a critical distinction in the alternative fuels industry. If you read Biodiesel Magazine, they said "biofuel", some blogs are saying oil, while others are saying biodiesel. Please let me know what was used, and be specific. If you don't know, please direct me to the source of your article, so that I may inquire. There is a handful of competing industries that depend on accuracy in these kinds of articles, and if it really is straight vegetable oil, I'll be very surprised, but very happy!
