My tank was filled today with 100% biodiesel at Dr. Dan’s Alternative Fuel Werks . Currently, it runs about $0.50 higher than regular diesel but things seem to be expanding and the price shoud drop as time goes along.
I will have to investigate the possibilities of making my own biodiesel. I think that it is more of a long term goal. I need to find some other people to share the labor/startup cost/space issues.
Here is another interesting site with fun facts about biodiesel.
So now, I am constantly hungry driving around, thinking about fried chicken.
have you thought about waste vegetable oil (wvo) as fuel? you still need to collect and filter wvo in a biodiesel setup… why not cut out the rest of the processing steps? wvo is a good solution if your typical drives are longer than 5 minutes. you can even cut this time down if you look into products like the vegtherm.
my advice would be don’t do biodiesel processing or wvo conversion to save cash… do it only if you have an interest in alternative fuels as a hobby. both biodiesel processing and wvo systems require loads of time and a large amount of initial investment… but… if you have the interest… go for it!
i’d volunteer to be a partner in crime in setting up wvo systems in the 300Ds…
oh yeah… on the price of biodiesel… recent tax legislation for biodiesel has finally been trickling down to the consumers. details on what this means for biodiesel users can be found here. look for prices to continue to drop as the home heating oil season comes to an end.
unfortunately there is no pipeline infrastructure for biodiesel so it must still be trucked from location to location. it is my understanding that this is a big cost added for the heavy (B20 and up) blends.
certain areas of the country are starting to use B3 and below blends as standard… kinda like the ethanol blend that was always available in iowa.
and don’t forget that you can use biodiesel in your home heating oil systems as well… be careful with older systems as they may have rubber seals (as oppossed to viton). biodiesel is a strong solvent that can degrade rubber faster than heating oil (i.e. diesel).
I think the tax break represents the price drop in the B100. When I checked it out a few months ago, the fuel werks was selling it for $3.50, it had just recently dropped to $3 as a result of a tax credit. I didn’t get into the details. I didn’t ask Dr. Dan where he gets his biodiesel from but there is a company in south seattle, seattle biodiesel, who will be opening a refinery some time soon. This should also bring down the cost
Cost and space are the two things holding back progress. Purchasing the conversion kit for the wvo and then the filtering process. It requires an additional tank. I haven’t fully looked into the space requirements for that but I have also found this solution with a one tank design from Elsbett. The second issue is the space for filtering the wvo and storage of said filtered wvo. I’ve already got enough stuff in my garage. If I’m really committed or interested, I need to find some locals to team up with.
Excellent. I was meaning to ask about the bio biodiesel status of your new ride.
Program on the emergence of civilization.
“14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
None from the sub-Saharan African continent. ”
Favor.
And disfavor.
They point out Africans’ failed attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it’s applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.
The roots of racism are not of this earth.
Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals.
The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.
AIDS in Africa.
Organizational Heirarchy
Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:
1. MUCK – perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as “god”
2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management
3. Evil/disfavored aliens – runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere
Terrestrial management:
4. Chinese/egyptians – this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
5. Romans – they answer to the egyptians
6. Mafia – the real-world interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
7. Jews, corporation, women, politician – Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.
Movies foreshadowing catastrophy
1985 James Bond View to a Kill 1989 San Francisco Loma Prieta earthquake.
Many Muslims are being used like the Germans and Japanese of WWII::being used to hurt others and envoke condemnation upon their people.
They can affect the weather and Hurricane Katrina was accomplished for many reasons and involves many interests, as anything this historical is::
1. Take heat off Sheenhan/Iraq, protecting profitable war machine/private war contracts
2. Gentrification. New Orleans median home price of $84k is among the lowest in major American cities, certainly among desirable cities.
Our society gives clues to the system in place. We all have heard the saying “He has more money than god.” There is also an episode of the Simpsons where god meets Homer and says “I’m too old and rich for this.”
This is the system on earth because this is the system everywhere.
god is evil because of money.
I don’t want to suggest the upper eschelons are evil and good is the fringe.
But they have made it abundantly clear that doing business with evil (disfavored) won’t help people. They say only good would have the ear, since evil is struggling for survival, and therefore only the favored could help me.
The clues are there which companies are favored and which are disfavored, market domination being one clue, but they conceal it very hard because it is so crucial.
I offer an example of historical proportions:::
People point to Walmart and cry “anti-union”.
Unions enable disfavored people to live satisfactorly without addressing their disfavor. This way their family’s problems are never resolved. Without the union they would have to accept the heirarchy, their own inferiority.
Unions serve to empower.
Walmart is anti-union because they are good. They try to help people address and resolve their problems.
Media ridicule and lawsuits are creations to reinforce people’s belief that Walmart is evil (disfavored).
I believe the coining of the term “Uncle Sam” was a clue alluding to just this.
The middle class is being deceived. They are being misled into the unfavored, and subsequently will have no hope.
Amercia is a country of castoffs, rejects. Italy sent its criminals. Malcontents.
Between the thrones, the klans and kindred, they “decided” who they didn’t want and acted, creating discontent and/or starvation.
The u.s. is full of disfavored rejects. It is the reason for the myriad of problems not found in European countries. As far as the Rockafellers and other industrialists of the 19th century go, I suspect these aren’t their real names. I suspect they were chosen to go and head this new empire.
Jesus Christ is a religious figure of evil. These seperatist churches formed so they could still capture the rest of the white people, keeping them worshipping the wrong god.
And now they do it to people of color, Latinos and Asians, after centuries of preying upon them.
Since Buddism doesn’t recongnize a god, the calls are never heard, and Chinese representation is instead selected by the thrones.
It was set up this way. Perhaps dyanstic thrones had a say, but maybe not.
Budda was the Asian’s Jesus Christ::: bad for the people. “They came up at the same time for a reason.”
Simpson’s foreshadowing::Helloween IV special, Flanders is Satan. “Last one you ever suspect.”
“You’ll see lots of nuns where you’re going:::hell!!!” St. Wigham, Helloween VI, missionary work, destroying cultures.
Over and over, the Simpsons was a source of education and enlightenment, a target of ridicule by the system which wishes to conceal its secrets.
Jews maim the body formed in the image of “god”, and inflicted circumsision upon all other white people, as well as the evil that is Jesus Christ.
I think about how Jews (were used to) created homosexuality among Slavics, retribution for the Holocaust.
Then I think of the Catholic Church and its troubles.
What connection is here between Jews and the Catholic church???
And if it is their sinister motives that’s behind the evil that is Jesus Christ are they being used at all?
Perhaps it is them who are pulling strings.
I believe Islam is the one true religion, and those misled christians who attack “god’s” most favored people will pay for it dearly one day.
