Is biodiesel the future of alternative fuels?

I've talked about E-85 Ethanol and vegetable oil as alternative fuels, but what about biodiesel? I found out there is one gas station in Houston selling B-99. In fact, they only have one pump!
"Stations like ours...we're kind of like an alternative gas station," said
Chris Powers who owns Houston Biodiesel. "This is not a Quickmart, it is just a
warehouse with a pump."

While there are various blends available, Powers sells the B-99 blend which is 99% biodiesel and one percent petroleum diesel. Its makers claim the fuel is non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable, and sulfur-free.

That means less emissions which is better for the environment.
