Not to hijack the thread, but since I havent been checking the list
lately,
I wonder if anyone has become aware of the film that is supposed to
come out
soon called Fuel. Its about environmental issues and it features a
guy who
apparently has been driving around in a veggie diesel bus since like
the 90s
or something.

several things i find interesting about this; first is the fact that
it's
coming to light now that some of the BioD producers there are
actually doing
exceedingly well, in spite of the complaints that imported US BioD is
causing the failure of the EU BioD industry.
of more interest to those on this list as well, i have to wonder
why EU
auto manufacturers keep telling us we can't use Amerikun BioD in
their cars
because our fuel doesn't meet their standards for BioD, yet it's
claimed now
that almost 20% of the fuel used in the EU is imported Amerikun
fuel,...
does that reek of "WTF?" to anyone else?
cheers!

And with europe now trying to impose a tariff on US made bioD, there
should be more for us. Seems we would import B100, add 1% diesel
or some
such and then ship that to europe. Get the $1/gal tax rebate and
make money
on the deal. Should be coming down in price though, since EU
wants to
impose a $1/gal tariff on our stuff

i think that we don't hear as much about it in the press now because
it's no longer 'new' and therefore not sensational enough to be
interesting
anymore. (heck, even i've been doing it for ~5 years already, and
i wasn't a
particularly early adopter here!)
cheers!
