When/if commercial BD actually becomes cost effective, we will all be buying it from exxon/mobil anyway. WVO will never leave the fringe, so it is "safe." |

BTW, I agree that the U.S. needs a coherent energy policy (oil is only one piece of the larger issue), but the issue has become so politicized that I don't see a rational policy in the foreseeable future. Instead, we get a lot of impractical "feel good" noise from one side and "drill more oil" from the other side. Neither is very helpful. |

When the adults finally decide that there is real money to be made reprocessing this stuff into fuel, it will happen. The exxon/mobil's of the world will obtain the supplies, quality standards will be written, infrastructure will be built, engine manufactures will endorse the use of this fuel, the price will be controlled by the existing energy market, and it will be fully taxed. There will be plenty of PR about it being an "american product" and the usual players will make a ton of money. In other words, it will be just like E85. |

Trucked to a refinery Refined into fuel Trucked to a distributor Trucked to a filling station Bought by you and burned in your vehicle. Case number 2, Waste Vegetable oil Picked up at a local dumpster Taken to my house Filtered Put in the tank and burned in my vehicle Someone grows more soybeans (taking smog back out of the air) Which one of these cases releases more hydrocarbons ???

As far as I know, the slow and painful deaths are from improperly heated, improperly filtered, and improperly de-watered fuel... I have yet to hear of an engine that died a slow and painful death or even an abrupt and painless death on WVO that was processed properly and a system that was designed properly. Can you qualify your statement with some evidence?

Its a known fact (do the research) that vegetable oil and biodiesel put out far fewer carcinogens than diesel fuel when burned. Saying things more often doesn't make them any more true. You need to back then up.
