biodiesel to cut CO2 in Ireland by gagrice

Lets hope we keep up with the rest of the World on this.
 
The use of biodiesel instead of diesel reduces emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
 
The company plans to produce 34m litres of biodiesel each year, which will be the equivalent of taking 25,000 cars off the road in terms of reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

I received this today. It is an article about Ex-CIA chief Woolsey. This was part of his proposal. He is living what he preaches. His farm is solar powered and drives a fuel efficient car.
 
Improve fuel economy.
In Europe, the average economy of private vehicles is 42 mpg, nearly double the U.S.'s 24 mpg, largely due to their reliance on efficient, next-generation, clean-burning diesel engines.

Now if we, the United States, were as smart as the Irish and the Europeans we could tell OPEC to stick it's oil were the sun never shines.
 
I have tried various concentrations of biodiesel in my Jeep Liberty CRD from B5 to B40 (self blended). The Jeep ran better than on straight dino diesel, was quieter and seemed to have more get up and go. There was no degradation in FE either.
 
I read the article by Woolsey (was in a Sunday paper). Imagine if monies used for pork were spent on making our country energy independent, how wonderful that would be.

Would you have a URL for an online version?

Don't even get me started. Somehow I don't see how we will ever get there without a revolution in mentality and without throwing all the whor^H^H^H^Hbums out.

Agree. Once buyers learn that "diesel" encompasses bio diesel which US farmers can produce, we will be going diesel. I had much rather make some US farmer rich in lieu of some terror supporting nation.
