It's too bad that someone made the comment in the video that the boat would actually produce less emissions if it was never built. I think that they may be missing the point. In my opinion if someone is able to accomplish something like this and to travel by boat around the world with biodeisel only then it will definitely inspire others to make choices that are more environmentally friendly. Not just with boats but with other transportation choices. Also there is a good chance that whatever is learned from this experiment can be used and applied to some of our other transportation needs. For instance many people talk about the benefits of solar power but ignore how impractical it is for applications like air travel, train and truck travel. Now I don't believe that a plane will ever use biodeisel, but I do believe that trucks might be a possibility. Just my thoughts.
