Rest In Peace, old friend, your work is finished.....
If you want ON or OFF the DIESEL ”KnOcK” LIST just FReepmail me.....
This is a fairly HIGH VOLUME ping list on some days.....

Biodiesel Bush KnOcK!!!!!!!.....................
Let's get to it!
Don’t tax people just for the opportunity to burn our food supply.
I think he’s right...
But it’s going to be a long time before they actually can make it economical.
They need to focus on developing an algae strain that can produce the necessary lipids at low cost.
After so many miscues by Jorge, this one is really bad!
Bio fuels are not the answer! Bio fuels are a negative source of energy; it takes more energy to produce and distribute a gallon of it than it can possibly release!
Now that he’s driven up the price of everything related to corn, he’s going to drive up the price of everything related to vegetable oil with nothing positive to show for it.
The word on the street is that my mercerdes Sprinter diesel warranty is void if it runs on biodiesel or a blend.
We’ll get bio-diesel at $4 per gallon, and bread for $20 per loaf.
Coal and shale oil are the right answers, not bio-diesel.
Renewable fuels. This is a blast from the hippy 70s. Renewable resources. Say no! to petrochemicals.
The DC elites, including President, down-to-earth-rancher next door Bush JUST DON'T GET IT.
Ethanol's use of corn and the rising price of gas is pricing vittles out of the reach of common folk, whom he and the libs profess to be so very much for.
How about kicking some teeth in and some butt out of the lobbying halls of Congress and getting on, triple time, with drilling in ANWR and building refineries.
Alternative fuel is an esteemable goal; meantime, the world turns on petroleum--let's get our supply and use it. After all, what are we saving it for? If alternative fuels are coming, let's use our oil supply to keep prices down until a good alternative arrives--ETHANOL AIN'T IT!
vaudine
There is a company that intends to create some kind of organism that produces just such a product. No more oil imports at $110 barrel. (52 gallons)
...the energy balance of biodiesel is 3.24, compared to 1.25 for ethanol...
From this site
This is a VERY high estimate in my opinion. Fuel from organics is a pipedream.
The only people that think that 3.24 is good are people who don’t understand what that would take us down from compared to oil.
Maybe someone can answer this who is more knowledgeable than me on the matter but...Why can’t Bush simply sign an executive order allowing drilling in ANWR. Clinton signed many orders without the support of Congress (gays in military ect el) What is stopping the President for allowing this. He will have the full support of the American people with the exception of the small percentage of the radical environmentalists.
Until they find a way to effectively lower the pour-point and raise the cetane levels, biodeisel will never be a viable alternative. Besides, they use food to make it! Should use switchgrass, but that’s an argument for another day.
Can somebody who’s better educated help me out with this? I’ve been thinking that the emphasis (subsidies if you’re going to end up stuck with them) on biofuels should instead go into something like neutralizing radioactive nuclear waste. It would seem to me, if you could do something about stabilizing nuclear waste, nuclear power could support the electrical infrastructure. This would free up a lot oil for general transportation.
Putting aside the concerns with political correctness and enviro-protesters, is this sort of neutralization unthinkable or a bad idea?
Trash-based ethanol
Agree. Biodiesel is better than ethanol; can be made from more things.
I heard you get about 50,000 miles per cow!
You also get about 72,000 miles per fuzzy kitten or puppy but of course using them for a fuel source is unacceptable because they aren't used for food or nutrition (at least not in America).
All kidding aside, I find it disturbing that food based fuels are gaining mega support without researching the global repercussions. Is it really more important to feed the fuel tank instead of the hungry citizenry with our food resources.
Maybe we should commit a zillion dollars to find a way to convert petroleum to food.
Wait! Peanuts can do it. Grow peanuts!
