That’s true, but in the meantime, the waste of used cooking oil will stop.

Used cooking oil is too often dumped down into the sewage system in cities. In Reno, there was a situation about 10 years ago during the winter with a *huge* ball of congealed cooking oil/grease that accumulated at the sewage treatment plant. The plant operators had a heck of a time getting this monster ball (like 6’ in diameter and more) out of the plant’s outside processing ponds, because when you get down to it, getting a grip on a ball of grease is pretty tough.

So I’m all for seeing people burn this stuff as a better disposal method than restaurants just pouring it down the drain. Sure, you won’t have more than 25K people nationwide who can fuel their cars or pickups on the stuff. Let’s just be happy that we’re not paying yet more taxes for a sewage treatment plant to process grease.
