Genome map shows how bacterium gobbles radiation

WASHINGTON - A bacterium that can remove uranium contamination from
groundwater may also be able to generate electricity, U.S.
researchers said Thursday.
As a small user of off road diesel the term onroad use is the first
thing I see in most the information. This assumes there is a different
criterion for off road use and production. Is this so? Or is the
difference so little in setting up a plant that is makes no difference?
My thought is that
This testing is very expensive- Tier I (literature review, and
emissions testing) can cost up to $300,000 and Tier II (animal
tests) can cost several million dollars. The National Biodiesel
Board is the only entity that has carried out both of these rounds
of testing as per the EPA
My disclaimer is the same as your. I have never made biodiesel, I am
just looking at the options. For heating your fuel, there is a
cheaper, more environmental friendly way to do it. Build a biomass
gasifier and use that to for your heat source. You cna find some
info about how to build a
First off, solar is not a good alternative yet. The environmental
cost associated with building them and the high initial cost make
solar a pretty poor competitor. I will agree with you entirely on
the net metering thing. I live in ks, where there is no net
metering, and the
Is this true!?
All we have to do is fix a bunch of old cars and we can have all of the
ethanol running vehicles our society could ever desire?
What kind of an engine are we talking about? Gasoline? Diesel? Any
modifications?

I feel the same way. I just can't understand why no one is willing
to fix
up old cars (and do things to improve their emissions). Everytime I talk
to someone about it, they act like I am crazy.

Murdoch,
Once again it comes to mind that I'd love to see an alcohol fuel

I'm *very* into the ethanol powered fuel cell developments, but I
don't think we ought to put energies towards developing fuel cells for
vehicle use per se. Just think of all the copper that would be

Hello Alon
I have question for the biodiesel makers in the group.
I had gathered some materials here in Israel, for making biodisel.
Have you made any yet?
I am using ethanol not methanol . Both from health and environmental reasons.
And I am wondering if it is worth while, economically

I have considered biodiesel production for some years now and wonder about
the confusions and the truth about several procedures.Doing it right and

It seems to me that SVO is a better solution then ethanol.
Why?- Because it is easy to make and easy to get, license free.
One really doesn't have to make aplant for it - it is very safe too!
Alex, we need MORE biofuels options, not less. Anyway in practise it
doesn't make good sense to say

Oslo, Norway - WWF today said the Norwegian government had made history by
putting nature before oil when it announced that it would not open the Lofoten

I only wish they mistakenly start mass-produce such an engine.

Well, some ideas might be to get some grant money for 1/2 of the Tier I

Has anyone tried heating with an oil or wood fired boiler then pump the hot
