On the other hand, if you care about this sort of thing (personally I don't see this as all that big of a plus): effectively zero CO2 emission. Any CO2 that comes out of it was recently taken from the atmosphere when the wood was grown.

So yes, neutralised over a short-ish term timeframe. If you had even a small percentage of people driving cars like this, forests would disappear pretty fast. All biofuels have the 'zero co2' factor. I'd rather see electrics powered by hyrdo and nuclear, myself, if you consider c02 to be important. Because those two options have zero airborne emissions completely, and that's a far bigger factor in air quality than the amount of c02.
