Any ideas out in this group on a cost comparison between the costs of
operating home heating oil furnaces (meaning potentially biodiesel heating)
and

We're not sure yet- maybe used equipment that costs under 1,000, maybe much
more- the group the building is for is pretty good at fundraising for
specific equipment once they have an amount in mind (they've got
