biodesiel

If bought for environmental reasons alone, its obvious this is a bad idea. Do I really have to explain? If its cheaper at the pumps, then I can understand why you want it, along with every one else who drives a diesel. If its that difficult to find, then you are going to have a long queue outside waiting to fill up with the cheaper diesel.

no , the van i use is compatible with biofuels and i want to compare the two fuels with petrodesiel

Where did you copy that opinion from?

So instead you'd want to burn all the oil../

Yeah, do tell; I can try to guess what paper it's from.

You are joking! We never had the plans - the govt's lack of investment into the nuclear industry over the past 20 years mean that new next power stations will be to a US/Japanese/French design...

=================================== I never suggested that we did have the plans. The phrase, "...would lose the plans..." implies that they don't exist and haven't existed but would be lost IF they existed.

It depends on where the biodiesel comes from. Our local supplier makes his from Walkers Crisps waste oil. So yes there is a cost to the environment but not half as bad as it would have been had the oil been produced solely for fuel.

And not half as bad a dumping the used oil into a landfill

It's entirely possible it's already got one.
