While Bio-diesel is a great product in many ways (foreign oil / environment / etc) and in some ways better than regualar diesel (more power at the crackshaft) it does require that you change or clean the fuel filters every few days / weeks even when a 20% blend is used. Our tractors (Deere mostly) used to have their filters changed only every few months. Notheless, it's very promising and the best part about using the stuff is that the exhaust that blows back in your face smells like french fries!
Hypocrisy and democracy gone wrong

I've grown up on a farm and have hunted all of my life; what ever happened to letting people live they way it suits them as long as it doesn't infringe on other people? I don't verbally attack meat eaters for torturing animals by supporting factory farms. Unless you are a vegan, moral arguments against killing and otherwise using animals are hypocritical and reek of ignorance (chicken doesn't grow up in cellophane). If you anti's have ever seen or read about factory farmed meat or even 'happy' organic meat (yes I work on an organic beef cow farm), a wild animal has LIVED a much better life and comes to a similar end as the cows only if they are unlucky / unfit. Read a book on factory farming or urban sprawl and then put your banning energies towards something useful.
I have forgotten more than most of the sanctimonious, anti-hunting city dwellers will ever know about the US's wildlife and yes I kill and eat a few animals a year. I also put a lot more money directly and indirectly into preserving the species for whose well-being we are responsible. Once again, "put-up" (buy land, put a conservation easement on it, and don't allow hunting) or "shut up".
So all of these holier-than-thou./ers passing judgment on rural interests from your duplexes and high-rises can keep your laws and opinions local... but sadly I fear that's not the way democracy works; tyranny of the majority, here we come: look a county based election map sometime http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/.
Yes I have seen the pilot plant in Philly; it works; have seen stuff go in and stuff come out. Economics behind it are still not clear. It is a small company and does not have the PR dept to feild the '000's of requests for jobs / information / new plants etc that they get weekly. Large capital cost associated with these things. TDP is a very old process (I think some brit came up with it a 100 years ago) and is know to work... breaking down complex carbons and reforming them using heat and pressure. It works; it's just a scale and $ issue now.
While this sounds innoculous there are only so many permutations on a person's browser that are different before it will uniquely identify them against someone else
This also certainly gives EL loads of good marketing information for pop-ups (e.g., buy a new monitor if screen res is 640x480, etc.)

Like the idea on paper; sounds a little far fetched. Ford and those guys have lots of smart people thinking about this for the last 100 years...
Agree, this brand is useless
