Petro based diesel vs biodiesel emissions (much cleaner)
Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have fully completed the health effects testing requirements of the Clean Air Act. The use of biodiesel in a conventional diesel engine results in substantial reduction of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter compared to emissions from diesel fuel. In addition, the exhaust emissions of sulfur oxides and sulfates (major components of acid rain) from biodiesel are essentially eliminated compared to diesel." diesel getting a undeserved bad reputations

Re: The Hydrogen Hoax
Try this one Buz
or
google search
I am not making this stuff up. Biodiesel is being sold today at a service stations 6 miles away from me. At $2.75 per gallon.
I am just tired of the hydrogen hype.

Re: The Hydrogen Hoax
Hey just do a google search. Plenty of other scientific studies that say the same thing including the EPA. Biodiesel is the way out of our enery mess ... Too bad we have an oil man in the White house.. The U.S farmers are the most productive producers in the world and biodiesel can be made out of such "trash" crops as rapeseed "Canola".... Do you own research on the subject and see if you agree with me....

I totally agree. Did you get your info from oilman.com though? Just kidding. Biodiesel is the best thing since sliced bread.... according to moveon.org....

Not a net wash dude. (It's 4.3:1 payback)
A great point but did you read the article? I posted I don't think so
"Overall Energy Balance (each unit of energy put in yields....) [higher is better] 3.2 units (soy)
4.3 units (rapeseed) 0.5 units (electrolyzing water into hydrogen with renewable sources)"
So it for each unit of energy you put in you get 3.2 units or 4.3 back.....
hydrogen vs diesel
I know I was skeptical like you but I challenge you keep asking those types of questions and doing the research cause biodiesel wins It's being sold to day... Heck even in Texas Willy Nelson owns a few stations....

Re: The Hydrogen Hoax
"Biodisel and ethanol are the no-big-thinkers-needed solution to being energy independent" Well said. In engineering school we had a professor that always said KISS keep it simple stupid. There is a tendancy for engineers to over think and over engineer things. My wife can testify that me and my buddies tend to over think things. The Hydrogen solution reminds me of that I forgot about the Brazil ethanol thing Great example Ashley...

Based on what your opinion. Alaska drilling is a drop in the bucket.
Please site studies that support your opinion. Give me facts and data please. Biodiiesel is the silver bullet. Your first paragraph is incorrect false.... Please look at the all links I have posted. I don't want to repost them here cause that would be spamming. Your pollution statement is incorrect according to the EPA. Please site facts i.e. links that explain why biodiesel is not the answer. Take all the money we spend in Iraq invest in biodiesel tax credits. Bingo instant production infrastructure... the road to energy independance
Alaska drilling is a drop in the bucket. i.e it will make some of Ws friends rich...

PetroDiesel has the smell Buz not Bio

Re: Hydrogen Is the Middle Man
Great point. If batteries keep improving you could be right. The instantaneous torque of electrical motors is awesome witness hybrid cars. No wasteful conversion of energy. Excellent point. mikenomad. Of course then how do we generate all of that electrical power that will be needed....Nukes are option. Coal (we have tons of that)....

OK now I know what you are talking about. It maybe only the recycled oil smells like that. I'll do some more research.... JB's car huh?

Re: Hydrogen Is the Middle Man
Even could use biodiesel at a central power plant. But I have to admit the coal thing probably trumps everthing else from a economic and efficiency thing. South Africa supposedly uses Coal Gasification to get gasoline.. Good stuff nomad. Keep it coming....

Re: Well? but....
Who said it had to be practical? Good point I agree with you. Every time I go to use my cordless drill oops I forgot to charge the batteries.....
And what about those loud pipe guys? What are they going to do? Put cards in the spokes again?
Nothing like cooking with gas....so to speak..
