My US Congress representative has stated that he recommends against using an
existing federal grant for alternative energy development in Western
Massachusetts for biodiesel development because he says it takes more energy
(or nearly
the same energy) to collect and convert biodiesel than it
This is in response to John Olver's statement that the NREL grant currently
in place for CoopPlus should not be used for any development of waste vegetable
oil conversion to biodiesel. I believe Mr. Olver has his data very wrong. He
may be referring to studies that show that ethanol production

Steve,
One of the problems is also that in resting, the body system is only
effected by 24% of convection. Direct radiation is 50% and humidity 22%. So
you can design a room that feel the same at 16 degree C as an other room at
25 degree C. You will die in a room at 80 degree C and 100%
Well there you go. Coming up with an elegant solution ... and then

far better option, even more

Steve,
For the type of stove that is mentioned, the average efficiency is more
like 35 to 40%. For combination burners, I often say that you need 4 times
