Don,
Unfortunately Biodiesel at this juncture uses quite a bit of energy to produce; more than it yields. As such many jobs may be created, but unfortunately until the costs of petroleum fuels rise significantly higher there will be little benefit. Also the amount of acreage needed to supply the US just for biodiesel would limit any population expansion other than building up into the sky or down into the ground/ocean. Maybe someday, but not yet...
