What I forgot to mention is that I make my own biodiesel from waste vegetable oil. Still, diesel has the highest energy density of common liquid fuels, and can be burned very cleanly, especially in external combustion situations. The Webasto website says their hydronic heaters are 97% efficient! The carbon impact of diesel is arguably less than that of LPG, which has a lot less energy content, and which requires a lot more processing. Diesel heat is also arguably less polluting than electric heat powered by a coal generating station, probably by a LONG SHOT, since the hydronic diesel heat is 90+% efficient, and the coal is at best 30% efficient by the time it gets turned into electricity. :::: Clean energy is less energy. -- Ozzie Zehner :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
