wjdoyle35 asked:


I would like to gather up all of the cooking oil at my college and turn it into biodeisel in my college’s lab space. Then fuel the vehicles my college uses. How would I go about starting a proposal to do this and are there websites I could look at that would aid my venture. Also, can biodeisel be used in regular gasoline vehicles or only in deisel engines.

If worst come to worst, will you break down to get a energy efficient vehicle?

Or are you gonna hold out as long as you can, and keep driving a pure gasoline or deisel vehicle.

The new hybrids are a novel thing, but they still got lousey acceleration. And if you convert to Biodeisel, well, how long will that last? In some parts of the country people are getting pretty ruthless because its getting harder to find waste cooking oil to make the stuff. I doubt we’ll be driving all electric cars, because there isn’t enough infrastructure to support life sized slot cars. But wouldn’t it be cool to have electric hot rods?

Green Energy Act Paradox

Thursday, October 15th, 2009
tomadamsenergy asked:


The Ontario Green Energy Act, passed in May 2009, is extremely popular with the public notwithstanding both its infringements on basic individual and democratic rights, and also the substantially higher electricity rates it will cause.

This video was part …
