Henry Ford designed his Model A, the first mass-produced automobile, to run on what we now call “biodiesel.” Specifically, hemp seed oil, but any number of vegetable oils can be used to power engines. It was cheap and, although that wasn’t as much of a concern then, it also produced a lot fewer polluting emissions than gasoline. Why did we end up with gasoline? Because government has heavily subsidized the oil industry for more than a century.
