Veggie Avenger!

Veggie Avenger!:

"78.3% reduction in greenhouse gases
55.4% reduction of particulate emissions (black sooty cloud)
56.3% reduction of hydrocarbons
80-90% reduction of mutagenicity (cancer-causing agents)
100% reduction of sulfurs (a major component of acid rain. This reduction also allows for the use of catalytic converters in the exhaust system to further reduce emissions)
There is a +5.8% increase in NOX emissions (smog and ozone forming) but this too can be reduced with the addition of an affordable catalytic converter."

This is a personal site which reports the use of Biofuel. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil and the site explains haow this person has put it into practice. If you do a search for Biodiesel you will find some commercial sites. I like this site because it looks at the practicalities and someone's personal experiences with anything always help me to think more logically about change. So, could we run our country on Olive Oil? Sunflower oil? Sesame oil??
