THANK YOU!
so Bio Diesel is GREEN? OH! thats right, the big story about "bio diesel" is that it has ZERO "net" affect on the atmosphere because the plants from which the fuels are produced, only RETURN to the environment what has already been taken. . . .Another question for a chemist or someone who knows a lot more than I. . . .Are all of those chemicals returned to the environment in the same state in which the plants took them?
For instance are the sulfurs, and nitrogens, and such returned AS the sulfurs and nitrogens that were taken?
Pardon me, but I don't think that the "natural" course of things mandates a manipulation of basic chemical properties prior to combustion. The Greenies pushing Bio-diesel are just plain liars.
