Multiply that effect by millions and the tourist industry goes down. Are you that immune to the economy? Yes, you are running your WVO. Good for you. You live off the land too? If you lose your job because of downsizing when the economy happens, I'll buy you a beer so you can toast the prices going higher and you get what you wanted. When they dropped the atomic bomb in Japan, only the soldiers died, right?  I suppose, stupid is as stupid wishes. |
Very well said. Yes I run oil in my SDL, but that doesn't help much when grocery prices double because the trucking company has to pass the buck for high fuel prices. Second, as petrol prices climb, biodiesel demand rises. Biodiesel producers, looking for cheap feedstocks, are turning more and more to waste oil. Pretty soon all of us running WVO will be in direct competition with biodiesel producers. WVO won't be free for the taking for long-I guarantee it. Austin, wasn't it you who started a thread bemoaning this fact a while back?
