On the Cover | The relatively recent escalation of gasoline prices has once again focused the attention of the U.S. public on the need for alternatives to oil, but scientists and a growing number of citizens have been steadily seeking new fuels without waiting for government to act. The Focus article (p. A86) examines the viability of biodiesel as an alternative fuel. In a companion Spheres of Influence article (p. A92), ethanol and biodiesel go head to head environmentally and economically, with interesting results.
