News Flash: McDonalds is converting all its UK fleet to run on biodiesel made on recycled grease from its restaurants.

So what arguements did this movie use to say that biodiesel is worthwhile.
I don't think it's worthwhile, convince me.

I've seen the film. From what I got, is that Biodiesel takes wasted vegetable oil, recycles it into fuel that you can run in a standard diesel engine w/no modification. Heck, if McDonald's got into the game, they could put Exxon out of business.

Yeah but even if we took all the waste vegetable oil and waste tallow we have in the US that'd meet like 0.3% of current US gasoline+diesel demand.
While thats plenty for hobbyists to mess around with, on a national scale thats just dregs.

Technically, there is modifications needed, but they're small. Any fuel higher than a B20 blend (20% biodiesel mixed with 80% petroleum diesel) requires a complete fuel system cleaning before use. It will also need to be treated for cold weather operation far earlier than petroleum diesel. Bacteria can also cause problems, but is easily eliminated.
