Yes, that's one way of doing it. But what were the conclusions? "A detailed inspection of the engine will be conducted at the conclusion of long-term testing later in 2002." Should have heard something more by now. "Currently around 3.5 million gallons of fish oil are produced annually from pollock processing operations in Unalaska. Additional volumes are produced in other locations in the Aleutian Islands, Kodiak, and the Southeast coast." Somehow this all seems immensely wasteful to me. Maybe it's not, but I'm so aware of how the oceans are being poisoned and strip-mined of life, of the appalling wastefulness of modern fisheries (hunter-gatherers are modern?) - "Around the world, each year, 44 billion pounds of fish plus hundreds of thousands of other marine animals are thrown overboard, dead and dying. Twenty-five percent of the entire world catch is wasted this way." More than a quarter of wild fish harvests are used in animal feed, much of it is used for industrialised aquaculture - it takes about five grams of wild fish protein (converted into fishmeal) to make a gram of farmed fish protein. The insanity (the right word) of the industrialised "food" system is probably even more damaging to the sea than to the land. >And thank you Keith very much for your post.
