GREASED LIGHTNING
The first gas station in a major city to sell vegetable fuel for
diesel cars and trucks opened yesterday in San Francisco.  A similar
station also opened in Sparks, Nev.  The biodiesel fuel is made from
recycled vegetable oil from restaurants or from soybean oil.  The
fuel doesn't cut back on nitrogen oxide emissions, but it does avoid
the carbon monoxide problems and the cloud of particulates that come
from burning diesel.  Vehicles using biodiesel experience a small
drop in fuel economy, and give off the scent of french fries.  Teri
Shore, from the enviro group Bluewater Network, said biodiesel could
help with the U.S.'s energy problems: Instead of mining in the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, we can mine the nation's supplies of
restaurant grease.

OIL IN THE ARCTIC NATURAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

The Void Without the 'Great Beyond,' by Sam
Howe Verhovek in the New York Times, February 18,
2001, Section 4, page 1.

This article discusses the importance of the
Arctic Natural Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) as one of
the country's few relatively untouched regions.
At one point it presents an argument by
proponents of oil drilling: that the oil which
comes out of ANWR will enhance national security
by reducing the nation's dependence on foreign
oil. This is a peculiar argument, since it is
only true as long as the oil is in the ground.

At present, and in almost any foreseeable future
scenario, the U.S. can buy all the oil it chooses
to buy on world markets. If it drains the oil
from ANWR during a period in which oil is readily
available, then it has eliminated a reserve that
may be important at some point when oil is not
available. The national security argument on ANWR
would seem to be that the oil should be left
there, to protect against the possibility that
the U.S. will be unable to get foreign oil at
some future date.
