If vegetable derived fuels are to be considered, perhaps we can relax a bit with regard to genetically modified strains if crops are grown purely for use as road fuel. I do not want to be eating, or feeding my kids, anything that's been f...ed about with.

But, I have no problem with running road vehicles on fuel derived from crops that are specifically engineered to increase the ethanol or RME yield.

I suppose the problem is ensuring that such crops never come into contact with food crops or those crops which are grown to feed livestock reared for consumption as food.

Perhaps grow fuel crops in massive poly-tunnels thus removing most risk of contamination with food crops. (There's always a slight chance).
