    But it is only economically viable when diesel and other fuels are expensive. As mentioned in the news video, this synthetic fuel is cheaper than regular fuel by PHP5.00 only. So what happens when pump fuel prices goes down by PHP5.00 or more? It ends up as being more expensive to produce.

    This is basically the same with other "green" or bio-fuels. They are expensive to produce and only economically viable when world oil prices are at their peak.

    So the question in my mind... what happens now with the anti-plastic movement?

    Would they now go into fuel production and resume the use of plastic bags?
