You, too, may soon be running your boat's engine on fatty acid methyl ester. On what? The environmental movement and the high cost of oil are generating new energy solutions. Biodiesel-- the street name for what your chemistry professor would call fatty acid methyl ester-- may be workable for you. Whether it came directly from soybeans or corn or from discarded restaurant cooking oil or grease that was refined, these alternatives may hold the key to reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
