[Vwdiesel] $3.45 a gallon, biodiesel, and SVO

[James Hansen]

Heating fuel is formulated for use in the cold... being for heating and all
:-)
It's winter fuel, not summer fuel (lower cloud point that varies with the
area climate).
Everything uses it here for half the year, including hospital
generators...cause that's all that is available in winter.
Dyed fuel is made so as it is transfered from the bulk dealer's storage
tanks to his delivery tanker... I was leaning on a barrel of the stuff today
at the local Shell bulk dealer's place while we solved the world's problems.

Don't buy straight vegetable oil as a fuel that must be stored for possibly
long periods before use, it degrades fairly rapidly.  In a very critical
application like a hospital I'd not buy anything other than either regular
road taxed diesel fuel or colored farm diesel.  Colored #2 fuel oil ( home
heating oil) is cheaper yet and I believe the same as summer diesel.  The
home heating oil will be cheapest of all these and I think basically the
same liquid as summer diesel.  Do some research and don't take my word for
the suitability of heating oil in the hospital's generator engine.
Liability issues are just too big.

Cool storage will prolong the useable life of any petroleum based fuel and
this also applies to vegetable oil.

Energy shortage?  Impossible!  In most of the developed world, the exception
being England, electrons literally swarm out of the ground.
