Hi Bob You say: ... The reason for starting from the moment when UNO accepted Israel as a member (in other words as a legally constituted legitimate state) was in my view the only possible point of departure. There are many others, but none so clearly legitimised as the moment when the most

Once again I'm much in agreement with Bill Blum. He seems to get inundated by a lot of the arguments that happen here too. (Poor guy.) I think we've had all this stuff now that he debunks, and more, not for the first time, and it's tiresome. Please see next. Thankyou. Keith Addison Journey to

Thomas, Why? You asked... 1) There's greater profit in blending biodiesel rather than selling straight. 2) Scrap all the misinformation about engine problems at higher blends. 3) Also scrap his misinformation about emissions benefits tapering off at 10%. They actually do little until after

Todd, You wrote: There's greater profit in blending biodiesel rather than selling straight. and later: Unfortunately, economic benefits aren't in line with environmental benefits. And the subsidy dollar doesn't help that matter either. Could you explain these two points?

This seems to match my thoughts as well. I have held back because I feel I cannot take sides in this conflict. I really feel for the Palestinians. I also really feel for the minority of Israelis who would like peace with the Arab states. I hope for all our sakes that a peaceful resolution is

Hello Bob, I did read the post you mentioned. It appeared to be referring to the use of waste veg oil directlyrather thanto using biodiesel. "To illustrate his vehicle's versatility he urged his audience to pour a range of standard cookng oils into the tank while the engine was running."

Thomas, A) The subsidy is for blended fuel only, up to $1.00 per gallon for B-99 from first use feedstock and up to $0.50 per gallon for WVO feedstock. B) Taking existing inventory of B-100 and dilluting it, to let's say 10%, allows the blender to net the entire subsidy plus charge a premium
