OK, take our sulfer away but lower our road tax an equivilent amount to make up for it. The tax IS outrageous now, we are expected to tighten our belts and suck-it-up but the gov't still gets their FULL cut and them some. I'm not against cleaning up the environment when there is REAL reason for doing it (sulfer/acid rain).
that is so fair it could never work

As for LSD or ULSD I would say that it hard on rubber. I think that is what finished off my return lines. Well that and the fact they were 15 years old. I checked them when I first saw some drips and only a couple were hard within two weeks the were all hard and very brittle. On several lines the rubber broke off only leaving the reinforcing mesh. My fuel filter base also started leaking all about the same time. I never put it all together until now.
can you turn me on to a good set of plans on how to build the still or whatever its called.i cant ever find any.
yea, this is the site that got me started Welcome - Collaborative Biodiesel Tutorial Website, its got everything you need to know, if you havnt made any before i suggest you make a "small batch" first, the site has a section on that, very helpful and informative.
hope this helps,

Do you own a TravelAll, I have a '72 1/2 ton 4wd and a '70 3/4 ton 4wd CrewCab (that's junk/parts). Those IHs are tough SOBs, I accidently backed into the TravelAll in my driveway one time about 3-5 miles and hour right on the front point of the front fender with my Dodge diesel. It actually pushed it backwards a while with the rear bumper and it barely dented it and didn't wrinkle the fender side at all. I was impressed, if I'd done that to any of my other rigs the whole fender would have been toast.
maybe tom cruise and the scientologists can get the mothership to save us from ourselves.
Finaly an Idea the government might actualy get behind!
I think that we are heading for a huge depresion the one good thing about it is it should destroy china and indias economy threw lack of mony for cheaply made trinkect and lack of need for out sourced jobs. So when we bounce back there will be less competition for oil untill we out source jobs again and start the cycle ove.
Of course if i follow the logic fule prices do the lack of demand will some how drive prices up

on a serious note what do you guys think the long term efects of massive wind farms will have on weather patterns? Kinda thinking along the lines of a butterfly efect type deal.

If there is any effect it can't be as bad as the effect of all the concrete jungles on the planet (causes hot spots). How about the wind generated by all the moving cars on all the roads in the united states and canada (or planes above us)? Wind turbines hinder the force of the wind, so I guess you could say that it would use up the wind?
If you want to hear a really stupid idea, we had a government in BC that actually payed to have micro turbines installed next to major arteries in cities like vancouver to "farm" the wind from traffic (looked like those paddle wheels that car dealers put on the roofs of cars). It, like many ideas of that government was a miserable failure.

the thing about the coal is that one of the largest release gasses from burning coal is sulfur dioxide.
and as with sulfur in diesel, when it comes into contact with rain you get sulfuric acid
Yeah...hence the smell you get.
They're really getting on power plants and the like here about installing the "scrubbers" to take out the sulfur dioxide in their smokestacks. Coal is cheap and here in WV it is very popular for power production (hell, there's a couple power plants that have mines nearby and conveyor belts taking the coal straight to the plant), but it's all bituminous so it has a fair bit of sulfur in it.

Well, the wind generators have been poping up all over the western oklahoma area. We have a few large wind farms south of guymon, (infact there is one wind generator out south east of guymon that is one of the largest in the world and theres only 2 of them from what i understand) And then there is a very large number of wind generators north of woodward oklahoma. They are poping up all over the place around here. I don't know much about them but I do know each one cost about a million dollars a piece and i think they are made in germany but not sure. The power output is also in the megawatts per generator but I can't remember if its like 4 or 40MW. Its still alot of power just from the wind. Out it is flat dry rolling plains with lots of wind so its one good area for them to be put up. I hear sever other places are starting to pop up windgenerators. Next time I drive by the wind farms, I will take a picture and post it just to show how many they have put up in the past few years. Atleast it is in the works!!! And besides, I like the way the windgenerators look. i don't think they are ugly and mess up the view. They look clean and efficient with very little impact on the environment.
if yall really want to know about windmills, talk to FTE's very own miss snow bunny.
she is an expert on them, seeing as she inspects them after they are built to put them in service, or something like that.

We have a huge farm going in over east of me near Canaan, WV close to the Allegheny Continental Divide.
I have passes several sets of the turbine blades out on the Interstate, and some of those things are huge.
I passed a set a while back, I know the part that bolted onto the hub was over 8 feet across and the blade was close to 150 feet long.
Since there were three trucks running together, I assume it was a three blade turbine.
Given how hard the wind blows up there in the winter, I can't imagine how big the foundation for that has to be since the blade tip will be close to 400 feet in the air.

i hope it is real huge,iwould hate to see one of those come down,ouch.but the more of those that go up,that puts less strain on the coal and oil fired power plants.butit does put the coal miners out of work,and i really think that is bad.
