That's why they will eventually outlaw the production of "home fuels" or require a "permit" in which they decide how high the permit costs will be, the regulations, the distribution, etc,etc,etc...
It'll go on and on until they have at least 50% piece of the pie. Count on it.

Bingo. The law of supply and demand is so simple and inescapable that you could teach a parrot to be an economist ("Aaawwwkk! Supply and demand. Supply and demand."). Unfortunately, the Green Weenies, and even some of our exalted FRiends are seemingly incapable of grasping that concept.
Where are you? If pines can be sold for that much in NC, I'm a millionaire!
Julia Roberts, Morgan Freeman, Willie Nelson...
Notable, but not persuasive.
But when Morgan Fairchild gets on the bandwagon - I'm in like Flint!
I'm all for as many alternatives as we can find for foreign oil. I'm surprised Congress hasn't been more proactive about finding alternatives, because IMHO it's a national security issue.
That said, how much oil do the neighborhood restaurants generate, how much does your bud's hubby drive, and is there enough oil there to supply biodiesel to several other families?
I'm just not sure there's enough used cooking oil out there to make this a viable source of energy for more than a few people...and I live in the South, home of deep-fried everything!
Exactly
Why people here automatically dismiss ideas just because someone they don't agree with supports it, has never made sense to me.
Depending on the location and size,

Location, location, location, a tree that will bring you a good price in the midst of a stand of trees just like it will cost you a thousand dollars to have it removed if it is between your house and a fence and has to be brought down one small piece at a time. The one I cut was next to a fence and had to be pulled over and dropped in an open area, the fence was damaged somewhat and I had to repair it. I certainly would not have paid anything for that tree. I probably should have charged a hundred dollars and she would have been happy. I spent many hours in the hot sun cleaning up the residue.
I hope that no one is buying a diesel in the hope that this condition will persist. The real world doesn't work that way.
This woman, as most of them are --- is an idiot.
As soon as the demand rises sufficiently, the cost of this "used" oil will rise from zero to, or close to, the market price of fuel.
That's the blessing, and the curse of freedom; the market economy; the innovative political and social system that, for better or for worse, created the greatest nation on earth.
The greatest nation of history.
Manipulate and restrict human resoursefulness and initiative, the creative part of us that separates us from animals, and you destroy that vitality.
I notice that none of these geniuses are rushing off to other countries...
I assume Biodiesel is used in diesel and not gasoline engines. Correct?
What the????
This plus that other one re: BB Mountain? Isn't this guy too old, too famous to be prostituting himself like this? Or does he still owe money to the IRA?
I find it perfectly logical since this is a temporaty anomaly and can't last.
No matter how "temporary" additional real fuel oil resources are, this pollyana alternative is a flash in the pan (pun intended).
Does anyone with a brain in their head think that users of new cooking oil will continue to give it away, after use, when the demand reaches a tipping point?
To say nothing of the legal extortionists taxing the **** out of it...
I got a few bridges I want to sell...
I'll bet they're using cooking oil to fuel the chartered jets when they fly into Aspen for those conferences where the stars lecture the proletariat about not using air conditioning, and then get awarded "higher consciousness" points in Katy Couric's "Guide to the Stars--The People Who Really Matter."
A biodiesel processor that uses but does not sell commercailyy owes no tax. If it is sold then all use taxes and tarriffs apply but there is a 50 cent reabte pergallon to the processor.

They will start charging as soon as one guy with an F-350 drives up and asks for cooking oil and gets told they already give it away to the guy down the road. The guy in the 350 thinks about it and says, 'I'll pay you 5 cents a gallon.'
