Curiously enough, Pravda also has a story on the subject.
Re:Hmm on Turn Your Monitor Into an HDTV · 2003-03-20 09:14 · Score: 2, Interesting

I would imagine that simply buying a HDTV would, in the end, be cheaper. HDTVs are just really big monitors IIRC. That's not to say this isn't cool, I just imagine it would be more economical to buy an HDTV and use it as your monitor :D

Maybe I'm the guy that's missing something, but the cheapest HDTVs I saw at best buy are above $1300 US. Meanwhile, I bought a used 19" monitor a month ago for $55. If I must have HDTV, $455 seems cheap.

Not to mention that diesel is just another petroleum product. The same limitations apply to diesel as do gasoline...
Well, unless you count biodiesel. A net zero-emission fuel. More info at the National Biodiesel Board or at Veggie Van for homebrewed biodiesel from waste vegetable oil. All of which, of course, does not answer the initial question.
