Where are the researchers from Argon when you need them?

I'd institute single-term limits for every political position. Imagine how much work these Senators and Congressmen would get done if they didn't spend half their day begging for campaign money.

Oh, and I'd undo everything scaeagles has done should he get to the White House first. No sense raping our Mother so that millionaires can make a few more bucks (You know, like Dubya and his puppeteers selling oil from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to Asia -- lower America's dependence on foreign oil my ass.).

If I were president I would disband congress and create a demented bellhop impersonator dictatorship, with myself as Bellcaptain.

Then I'd declare a Peeps! holiday. Everyone would have to celebrate the wonderful food group know as Peeps. There would be songs, poems and sagas written about Peeps.

I would create a law that forced everyone to have garden gnomes in everything they own (House, car, refridgerator, shower.) Garden Gnomes would become a status symbol.

Next thing I'd do is get rid of the U.S. Mint, and replace it with the U.S. Chocolate Mint. That's right, the new currency for my bellhop dictatorship would be Chocolate.

The final thing that I would do on day 1 of being President/Dictator/Bellcaptain would be to shoot Carrot Top.

Oooh! Ooh! Can I be your Vice President/Dictator/Bellcaptain? I promise I won't eat up your entire fortune of chocolate. Just half of it--I'll share, I swear.

Garden gnomes in the shower?

Riiiiight.

Name, I'm all for it. However, I honestly believe that if there was profit in it it would be getting done. I would suspect the holdup on such action comes from several fronts -

Not enough people drive diesels to make it worth while at present.

Those who drive diesels may not be willing or able to shoulder the cost of conversion.

Car manufacturers would have to be convinced that consumers would purchase diesels (perhaps veggie oil ready) to increase their production of them.

No consumer would buy these cars until the infrastructure was in place to allow for refueling with ease somewhat close to finding the corner gas station. The investment to provide for that is billions of dollars.

I don't see any industry being willing to take the risk.

If these industries did, I doubt it would be any economical to pay for collection and processing of the used vegetable oil. I would suspect that fresh veggie oil would be required. Should the use of this go widespread, then there would be more investments required to drastically increase production of vegetable oil. Doesn't the oil in fryers at restaurants get changed only once a day? I am not sure. I just doubt that the restaurant industry would not have enough to be recycled to make a difference.

who knows, its just something to watch in the coming years, and if the price of fossil fuels keeps rising, I think more and more people would go for this thing(as several already have). It's just nice to know that there is a useable alternative to fossil fuels to use in diesel vehicles. I don't see the use of vegetable oil going away, and it may have a slow start, but I'd say 10 to 20 years(maybe more, maybe less) it will have grown to something more then just a few people around the country stopping by their restaurants to having a few places that you can buy vegetable oil from the pump. All I know as a fact is there is only a finite amount of fossil fuels that eventually will be dried up, so the sooner we decrease our dependance on them, the better. I'm just putting the vegetable oil idea on my watch list, who knows where it will go.
