Q: on sun 13 aug 2006 104408 -0400 chris thompson kf4drr-nospam@alltel.net wrote bio is more than just a curiosity and it does not have to use food sources to make it. there is a company making bio not far from me that claim to use the trimmed chicken fat from a chicken plant near here for one example. now tell me is that a food stock you would want to use they are using food products that would otherwise wind up in animal feed. nothing is wasted from animal processing plants and was not before it was being used for bio. bio will never be a long term solution and like i said it is just a side track right now and little more. sure somebody may make some money on it now but it will not be viable long term. you can take that to the bank.it is easy to make methanol from coal with distructive distilaltion but it is harder to make a diesel type fuel from it as it really needs to be made for a oil base stock. diesel fuel supplies are being pinched more daily as it is also heat oil and current admin pushed unwisely to have hundreds of new power plants built fueled by oil to support big oil lobbies which further taxes supply other than coal which we have the largest reserves of in the world. a 300 to 500 year known supply to give you even more insight on the problem here and big oils grip on government today one ton of coal trades at about $50 a ton now and when you measure the btu energy content of this like for powering power plants it costs about $350 for the same amount of energy in crude oil or about $450 for the refined heating oil/diesel fuel products at current trade prices. ----------------- thesnoman.com .
