Looks like a greenfuel scheme has finally emerged that the public can readily support.

I don’t think it will ever be enough to make a dent in the oil or coal business

“public support”? If that means tax dollars, the answer is no

When Fuel is required to be made from whiskey byproducts, only drunks will be able to drive.

A start-up company in Scotland is working to capitalize on the tons of waste produced by one of the countrys most valued industries and turn the dregs of whisky-making into fuel.... But what about the cows? They used to like to get drunk eating that mash.

Reminds me of “Big Daddy” Don Garlits’ quote, Gasoline is for washing parts, alcohol is for drinking and nitro-methane is for racing!

Looks like a greenfuel scheme has finally emerged that the public can readily support. Biodiesel is pretty dang awesome* and that could, technically, be called a greenfuel scheme
.
(* Granted, this is because the Diesel compression-ignition engine is both more efficient and more robust than a gasoline spark-ignition.)

“public support? If that means tax dollars, the answer is no”
The “public” is already supporting the generation of waste by individuals purchasing voluntarily liquor and the “public” getting a lot of tax income from a +/- 50% tax rate as a result.
Are public funds needed to make this commercial? No way.
BTW, I trust you get the humor in both liquor and its waste can be supported. It’s supposed to be funny.

Every little bit that makes Russia or the ME a little less money cannot be a bad thing.

Forget that, we need to figure out how to turn waste from fuel making into whiskey!
To: GeronL
Maybe they just need us all to pitch in and drink a bit more whiskey?
