Re: [Biofuel] B100 and jet fuel
I actually read something about this a couple days ago. YOu should be able to google it. There were problems using it with jets. Biggest concern was gelling at high altitudes. On Thu, 01 Sep 2005 14:46:13 +, des wrote A neighbor who recently retired from the airline industry has been asking me lately if there's a biofuel that can be substituted for jet fuel, and although I didn't know at the time, I've done some research since, and see that jet fuel is a variant of diesel. Any one out there know what kind of variant jet fuel is of diesel, (I seem to understand that it resembles kerosene) and can jet fuel be grown? doug swanson (in Ellijay, GA, not far from Atlanta GA, where gas prices spiked up to $6.00/gal. for a few hours yesterday) -- ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/

Do they choke on their stockpiles when transportation is disrupted by storms -- and that is often for many days. Switching to a renewable fuel and not using fuel by changing life style are all that will work.

It has been calculated that if everyone in the United States and Canada did not purchase a drop of gasoline for one day and all at the same time, the oil companies would choke on their stockpiles. At the same time it would hit the entire industry with a net loss of over 4.6 billion dollars which affects the bottom lines of the oil companies. Therefore September 1st has been formally declared stick it up their behind day and the people of these two nations should not buy a single drop of gasoline that day. - Yahoo!

Re: [Biofuel] Sept 1 declared no buy gas day
Station owners really don't make much money off of gas. Their lucky to make a nickel a gallon. They make their money on what's called C-Store sales. If more people could take public transportation it would help greatly. Funny tidbit. BP says they loose money on their gas stations, $100mil last year. You refine it, you transport it, you store it, you delivery it, and you sell it. How do you loose money when you control all aspects of it. Just by vertues of econmies of scale you have to make money. On Mon, 29 Aug 2005 14:46:25 GMT, marilyn wrote effort to take public transportation for a whole month.

Thanks for the reply, and especially for the Snopes site. I hadn't heard if it. I will check it from now on. I was concerned about the cost to the station owners, but wondered it it was part of a larger plan to start with a one day boycott as a symbol of protest, then move from there to a longer period that would have a major impact. I figured if anyone knew this, it would be this group.

Re: [Biofuel] another reason to work for energy independence
The econmic meltdown doesn't scare me as much as the next world war. The economy has had meltdowns before and it will again. I believe the US is resourcful enough to come back. Though our great dependacy on foreign oil could make that a lot harder. As oil is depleted more and more there will be maneuvering by countries to retain/adquire/secure the last reserves. Is it completely outside the realm of possiblities that's why we're in iraq. China's army out numbers us at least 2 to 1, but not as advanced and trained. India's army is becoming more advanced all the time. Both of which are a lot closer than us to the middle east. Give them 10-20 years. US has dug a pretty deep hole. Carter had put in new CAFE (milage requiremnts for cars/trucks) requiremnts that Reagan through out. If they had stayed it could have greatly reduced our dependancy on oil. Transportation uses 74% of the 20+ mbbls we use a day of oil.
