If you have not been able to dig up anything overt about this person's claims I should treat it as heresay and not attribute any more relevance to it other than perhpas a footnote. Like anything else, they can find anything wrong with the manufacture of just about anything, there are so many rules and laws on the books for that purpose. If it is not the biodiesel itself it will be some handling rule about methanol as a HazMat, or some environmental rule or reg about disposal of this or that thing that may or may not actually be occuring. By the time the person gets done with the courts it will be a moot point. Should they decide to shut it down, there will alwasy be a way. That said, prohibition didn't stop the making of alcohol and actually became a benefit for those who did make it, making of them very wealthy people, IE the Kennedy's. Should they come after BD it will take an army of inspectors and stoolies to enforce it and that would be seen as counter productive in that BD is an alternate fuel with nothing but positive reprocussions, the oil giants notwithstanding, and the resultant negative publicity surrounding this sort of draconian venture may not go over so well with a public in need of a break from oil price gouging. Try to stop a man from heating his home so his family can be safe from the elements, or getting to and from employment that serves as the primary or only source of reverue by which he feeds his children and someone is going to be buying into a whole world of trouble. Should they wish to outlaw the private making of BD they had better be prepared to make it available at a reasonable price, and the what are they going to do to ensure that the BD in that vehicle is theirs ? It smells like french fries (freedom fries to some) :) isn't going to cut it as it ALL will smell that way. Stop it at the source ? How many restaurants are there ? Millions, I believe, is a very conservative estimate. Start controlling the essentials, like methanol ? Maybe, but that is going to make a lot of painters very rich (see prohibition statement above). Outlaw lye ? Same statement again. lye is used in so many markets for so many things that you will still be abel to get your hands on it, or make your own from a good soap making book. It may require a bit of testing around to get the quantities right, but it can be done with enough determination and determination, I believe, is one element that desribes almost all BD'ers from what I have been able to see so far. So, regulating the production of BD is wholly dependant upon the willingness of the participants to be regulated.

[Biofuel] Framing the Issues
Something I've been noticeing as the election approaches: If Americans were actually allowed to UNIFY behind the issues that they agree upon, regardless of how those issues were spun by the two parties, they could actually CHANGE the system in ways that the oligarchy in charge wouldn't like. Have you ever wondered why polls (and elections) are so CLOSE? OK, it's partly gerrymandering to try to balance the parties out in every region -- even more, I'm thinking, it's that issues have been strategically lumped together under the same (opposite) banners, such that neither party actually stands for something that a clear majority wants.

[Biofuel] waste petroleum oil as biodiesel
My appologies to the group if this is not in the correct format; this is my first post. Todd. In my previous life (11 years ago) I worked in the heavy vehicle maintenance field. At that time there were products available that would allow a diesel engine to burn a portion of the crankcase oil along with the diesel fuel. The intent was to eliminate oil changes; you would frequently add oil and change the filters periodically. The concern I would have on using waste oil is with the contamination that may be present. Our waste oil tank was used for every type of petroleum product that we wanted to get rid of. Waste oil could have gasoline, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, hydraulic oil, antifreeze, solvents, parts cleaners, heavy metals and who knows what in it. Some of those products will not go away simply by heating the oil. Our waste oil furnace was a lot more forgiving towards the oil quality than any diesel would be. I would have to learn a lot more about cleaning waste oil before I would put it through my diesel.

I realize that it is not biodiesel but it is better to use a waste product that having more Saudi oil pumped from the ground and more waste oil going to land fill sights.

[Biofuel] The GOP Stampede
The GOP Stampede By Joshua Holland, AlterNet. Posted October 26, 2004. The conservatives don't play politics with real grassroots activism. Their top-down style and buy the movement approach is better suited for Astroturf - and this week, they're on the march. Next week, the Republican Party's ground game will be out in full force. Bush strategist Karl Rove will unveil his 72-hour plan to knock on the door of every last uncommitted voter in America leading up to the election. The strategy for the stretch-drive is unambiguous: red meat for the base, inclusiveness and security for the swing voters and making a mockery of Sen. Kerry. To get there, conservative leadership will mobilize their network of grassroots activists like never before, focusing on key battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Missouri. Commenting on the push, Arizona GOP chairman Bob Fannin told CNN this August that he hadn't seen anything like it in 40 years of Republican politics. It's coordinated from the Republican National Committee and the Bush-Cheney campaign in a very, very aggressive way. ... We are right on top of it every week. The drive to get out the Republican vote will be but one part of a genuine and dangerously effective conservative mass movement that has emerged in recent years. But there's a difference between the right's activism and that of the left. While most progressive movements tend to be organized spontaneously by activists in true bottom-up fashion, the right's grassroots are top-down, disciplined and hierarchical. Many of their ground troops have been professionally inflamed to the point that they've become another powerful media tool for conservative leadership. Beyond a base of dedicated activists within the evangelical community and some other true believers - an estimated 15 million of whom made it to the polls for Bush in 2000 - the right's populism is often a smoke-and-mirrors affair cultivated by GOP operatives, spread with today's easy activist tools and underwritten - sometimes indirectly - by the usual conservative donors. This approach works. We saw it performed perfectly in Florida in the days after the contested 2000 presidential vote. Pro-Bush protesters marching in the streets of Florida convinced the Miami-Dade canvassing board to shut down its recount before the tally was completed, sending Gore v. Bush to the courts. According to the New York Times, the decision to halt the recount followed a rapid campaign of public pressure. Republican telephone banks urged voters of all stripes to protest the process and conservative talk-radio hosts echoed the call. According to the Times, one Republican attorney used a bull horn to egg the crowds on, and the gathering protesters became violent, at one point even assaulting a Democratic board member. Where natural passions seemed inadequate in the Florida mess, an image of popular protest was manufactured by the GOP. The truth would emerge, but only after the first impression of popular unrest had been made. As the Wall Street Journal would report several days later, Some of the unruly pro-Bush demonstrators who kicked doors and banged on windows of [the] Miami-Dade County election office last week were Capitol Hill aides whose travel expenses are being paid by the Bush campaign. They included staffers of House Majority Leader Tom Delay and Trent Lott. In one photo of a crowd of angry voters can be seen an equally angry John Bolton, who became Bush's neoconservative undersecretary of state for arms control. While the media eventually picked up on the artifice, the GOP had successfully constructed the charge - widely repeated - that Vice President Gore was challenging the democratic will of the majority. That's an important point. The emergence of a right wing grassroots movement has coincided with the rise of a conservative media that amplifies and reinforces its message. After all, it may be difficult to spur people to mass action based on the old right's promises of deregulation and privatization, but as long as there's a wide belief that the left - with its activist judges and positive stances toward women's reproductive rights and same-sex marriage - is trying to destroy America, an increasing number of hard-working folks will be willing to hit the streets - or at least shoot off an angry e-mail to the latest target of conservative anger. Two generations ago the phrase conservative grassroots would have been an oxymoron; nobody had any question which party represented the voting majority in this country. The left was made up of a wide spectrum of America, ranging from the unwashed masses that agitated for social progress to a contented upper-middle class, while conservatives were widely perceived to be the Wall Street fat cats - a patrician elite whose political capital kept the lid on those masses and maintained the status quo.

[Biofuel] Seymour Hersh: Man On Fire
Seymour Hersh: Man On Fire By Lakshmi Chaudhry, AlterNet. Posted October 27, 2004. In an astonishingly candid and far-ranging interview, the journalist who exposed major stories from the My Lai massacre to the Abu Ghraib scandal, proves that his voice is every bit as powerful as his pen. An interview with Seymour Hersh is never dull - to put it mildly. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist can be contentious, just as willing to challenge a question as answer it. He can be unpredictable, ever able to throw a hapless reporter off-balance with the unexpected. Did you ever take a stewardess' course? he might inquire just as you're trying to get him to discuss the role of the media. When Hersh does answer the question - which he will, with eloquence and at great length - he is likely to make your head reel as he follows four separate lines of thought - at the same time. In other words, it's a bit like being on a roller-coaster: often disorienting and a little daunting, but always a hell of a ride. For when Seymour Hersh speaks, he does so with unparalleled insight, passion, and candor. He is willing to say what most other star journalists rarely permit themselves to even think in this era of celebrity journalism, when image is king. When Hersh speaks, it's for two simple reasons: it's important and he cares. It's why we care to listen. Be it his coverage of the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War or his recent work exposing the Abu Ghraib scandal in Iraq, Hersh has been a dedicated watchdog for democracy. His latest book, Chain of Command: The Road From 9/11 to Abu Ghraib, builds on his reporting as a staff writer at The New Yorker. The book - among other things - reveals how National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was made aware of human rights abuses in Guantanamo Bay two years before the torture in Iraq took place. It is a searing indictment of the Bush administration for its willful ignorance, ideological agenda, and above all, a profound failure of leadership. He spoke to AlterNet from his office in Washington D.C. Q. So what does the Abu Ghraib scandal say - the fact that it happened and the way it was handled by the Bush administration ... Oh, c'mon. You can ask a better question than that. Q. No, no, no, does it reveal a deeper truth ... OK, fine. Abu Ghraib is a symptom, a terrible symptom of a system that went bad from the beginning. From the first days of the war, the attitude was 'We can do anything we want.' When John Walker Lindh - that young boy who was captured with al Qaeda, that lost kid from California - was first captured, the mistreatment was astonishing. He was stripped, thrown around. There was a bullet they didn't take out for days. The soldiers spit on him. There were people at the time who thought it was just madness what we were doing and that it would stop soon. But the American public liked it. So in a funny way, we got what we wanted. We wanted payback, we wanted revenge. And we saw everybody in al Qaeda, the Taliban, and the Muslim world as our enemy. Q. So you're describing a blood-lust on the part of the American people. No, what I said was what happened is ... OK, one of the amazing things is the first report [on Abu Ghraib] that was done by Antonio Taguba, a wonderful, highly motivated, brilliant officer. And he traced the tracks of Abu Ghraib back to Afghanistan. The prisoner abuse began then. And here's my complaint about Bush, and Cheney and Rumsfeld. Of course, none of these people knew about Abu Ghraib - all that madness, piling up naked people. But at no time did the people at the top of the chain of command say, You will not mistreat people. Q. In an article in the New Yorker, you included the testimony of one of the soldiers who was one of the whistleblowers that exposed the abuses in Abu Ghraib. Yet in the bit that you quoted, he referred to the prisoner as an it. And this is someone who was appalled by what he saw around him. Doesn't that reflect the larger environment within the prison - where these prisoners were simply not seen as human beings? Ah, I think you may be over-intellectualizing. You can't begin to know what's in their head. Look, America is a very racist country and war brings out the worst in it. I have said - several times, publicly - that the one thing I've always liked about Bill Clinton is that he was the first American president since World War II to bomb white people. There's a lot of racism. And when you fight a war, you dehumanize the other side - that's inevitable. And that's why you need leadership from the president. That's why you need clear guidelines to be established. The reality is that anybody could do what they goddamn wanted in that prison. They couldn't kill them, but they could do anything else they wanted. And that's exactly what happened. It was just awful. And we will discover that as bad Abu Ghraib was, the torture in the
[Biofuel] Why, Despite Everything, John Kerry Must Win
Published on Wednesday, October 27, 2004 by CommonDreams.org Why, Despite Everything, John Kerry Must Win by Stephen Zunes On this website and elsewhere, I have written nearly a dozen articles in recent months criticizing the policies advocated by Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry. However, given that the only other realistic choice is George W. Bush, I am desperately hoping that Kerry will win next week's election. I will not personally be voting for Kerry, since I am a resident of California, which is expected to go solidly for the Democratic ticket. I intend to vote for the Green Party presidential nominee David Cobb, who is campaigning only in states where either Kerry or Bush are expected to win handily and is consciously avoiding swing states out of the risk of tilting the balance to the Republicans. However, if I lived in a swing state, I would be casting my vote for Kerry and I am encouraging those who live in swing states to do the same. This comes despite the very poor choice the Democratic Party made in selecting Kerry as their nominee. The Democrats' Poor Choice In selecting Kerry over a half dozen imperfect but nevertheless anti-war challengers, the Democratic Party gave millions of Americans - who knew from the start that the invasion of Iraq was wrong, that it was illegal, that it was based upon lies, and that it would end up being just the kind of disaster that it has become - no one to vote for. Even though Kerry was briefed in 2002 by Scott Ritter, the former head weapons inspector for UNSCOM, that Iraq had already been disarmed, he stood up on the Senate floor and claimed that Iraq's chemical and biological weapons arsenal was more dangerous than in 1991. He even insisted that Iraq had an advanced nuclear weapons program right after the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that it had been completely dismantled. He voted against a resolution authorizing the president to use force against Iraq if the United Nations Security Council permitted such force under the UN Charter and instead voted for a resolution authorizing the President Bush to invade that oil-rich country unilaterally in violation of the UN Charter. He continues to support the U.S. occupation of that country, despite the large scale killings of civilians and abuse of prisoners by American forces. Furthermore, through his vigorous defense of Israel's occupation policies in the occupied territories - including the separation wall, the expansion of illegal settlements, the extrajudicial killings of suspected Palestinian militants, and rampant human rights violations - and ruling out substantive negotiations with Palestinian leaders, Kerry has demonstrated his belief that the way to peace and security is not through negotiations and compromise, but through conquest, occupation, colonization and repression. Even though most Americans - including most Jewish Americans - believe that the United States should not give such unconditional support of the policies of Israel's right-wing government, Kerry's backing for the Israeli occupation has been on even stronger terms than that of President Bush, thereby making himself the most right-wing presidential candidate either major party has ever nominated on this key foreign policy issue. Kerry's calls for strict sanctions and possible military force against Iran and Syria over their alleged weapons programs that pale in comparison to the longstanding nuclear, chemical and biological arsenals of U.S. allies in the same region demonstrates his contempt for multilateral law-based approaches to arms control and his belief that the United States unilaterally has the right to impose its double-standards on weapons procurement by force. Kerry's outspoken criticism of the International Court of Justice for its nearly-unanimous ruling that the Fourth Geneva Convention must be applied to countries engaged in belligerent occupation has shown his contempt for international law. Nominating John Kerry for president was nothing less than an assault against core Democratic constituencies: liberals of my father's generation who lived through and fought in World War II and saw the creation of the United Nations, which explicitly forbids such wars of aggression as the invasion of Iraq; progressives of my own generation who volunteered in the McCarthy and McGovern campaigns, and whose political consciousness was shaped by opposition to a previous immoral U.S. counter-insurgency war; grassroots Democratic Party organizers of all generations, an overwhelming majority of whom oppose the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq; and, working class and minority voters, who will disproportionately pay the price for the Iraq war in terms of lives lost and programs cut. Despite claims to the contrary, Kerry was hardly the most electable candidate the Democrats could have nominated. If, for example, Howard Dean

With polls showing a dead heat, the GOP is staging an all-out attack on a fair vote count in the Buckeye State. Here are a dozen ways they're doing it: * Under an archaic Ohio law, both the Republican and Democratic Parties, or any slate of five candidates, may embed official election challengers inside polling places. The New York Times reported on Oct. 23 that the Republican Party intends to place thousands of lawyers and other GOP faithfuls inside the polls to challenge voters. Republican insiders confide here that the key goal is to jam lines and frustrate new voters. The GOP apparently figures many voters in key Democratic precincts won't wait in line more than 15 minutes to vote. This is certain to be a major tactic in Cleveland's Cayahoga County and other Democratic strongholds. The GOP is not planning to challenge voters in Republican districts. Republican party has sent letters challenging thousands of Franklin County students who are registered to vote absentee. Franklin County is home to Columbus, the state's largest city and its capitol. Though it is also home to Ohio State University, thousands of local students go to schools outside the county or state. The GOP apparently does not want their votes counted. This unprecedented mass challenge has prompted the Franklin County Board of Elections, whose director is a conservative Republican, to reserve the large Veterans Memorial Auditorium downtown to process the challenges this Thursday, as John Kerry comes to town with Bruce Springsteen. The County has told thousands of students that if they don't appear in Columbus to answer the GOP challenges, they may lose their right to vote. * The Franklin County Board of Elections has called or written an undetermined number of voters who obtained absentee ballots, challenging their addresses. In at least one case, after a series of angry phone calls, the Board admitted there was nothing wrong with the address in question and re- instated voting rights. The voter in question was a registered Democrat. His wife, an independent at the same address, was not challenged. It is unclear how many others have been wrongly knocked out. * Even if they are counted, Franklin County's absentee ballot forms are rigged in ways strikingly reminiscent of those in Florida 2000. On many absentee forms, Kerry is listed third on the list of presidential candidates. But the actual number you punch for Kerry is 4. If you punch 3 you've just voted for Bush. Sound familiar? * Franklin County's right wing Elections Director is insisting on e-voting machines which have malfunctioned in at least two Congressional elections, and which have no paper trail. The November issues of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics Magazines ran the following headlines on their covers, respectively: E-vote emergency: And you thought dimpled chads were bad' and Could hackers tilt the election? Vigorous protests against the paperless machines have been staged here, but many will be used, rendering a meaningful recount impossible. * In four other Ohio counties, the notorious Diebold company, whose CEO Wally O'Dell has pledged to deliver Ohio's votes to Bush, will provide the e- voting machines to count

Making the Edible Landscape, a three-year, $1-million effort, this month begins re-engineering cities that are the traditional centres of food consumption into organized hubs for food production. It's based on an uncommon philosophy: that trees and greenery in a city should serve to keep people alive. Urban planners have tended to create landscapes for beauty, not utility, said Bhatt in an interview before heading to Colombo to oversee the first stage of work. We need to be envisioning something much richer and deeper than that. Although food has been grown in cities for centuries and the trend continues, it's seen as either a fringe activity of the poor and disenfranchised, or, in North America, as a hobby, he said. Edible Landscape's objective is to change the attitude of key decision-makers - architects and designers, municipal politicians and managers - by demonstrating to them ways that agriculture may be integrated into urban planning and housing design. It's the ideological foundation of an emerging, multi-disciplinary field known as urban agriculture, whose recognized gurus are Bhatt and Luc Mougeot, an academic and urban philosopher with the federally funded International Development Research Centre. Canadian experts in architecture, health and sustainable development will help officials from the three cities decide how to transform roughly 25 hectares of land that will affect 500 families. The results will be showcased before 200 city officials from around the world at the 2006 World Urban Forum in Vancouver. There is mounting scientific evidence of the benefits of urban growing. The UN has estimated up to a quarter of the world's population will be engaged in some form of urban agriculture by next year. Montreal, which boasts Canada's most extensive network of community gardens, says its 7,000 parking-space-sized plots yield an average of 100 kilos of fruit and vegetables each. © The Gazette (Montreal) 2004 ___ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
[Biofuel] Hybrid powertrains
October 2004 http://www.dieselnet.com/ Hybrid powertrains The following summary of new developments in hybrid powertrains is based in part on announcements made during the Hybrid Truck Users Forum (HTUF) held in Kalamazoo, MI, on October 14-15. The event was operated by WestStart, an advanced technology consortium, and the US military. + International and Eaton selected for US hybrid truck program International Truck and Engine Corporation and Eaton Corporation have been selected to manufacture diesel-electric hybrid trucks for a US national pilot program serving the utility industry. The pilot truck program, the largest in the USA to date, will test a minimum of 20 factory-built International utility trucks featuring an integrated hybrid powertrain solution developed by the two companies. WestStart will be administering the pilot program through the support of the US Army's National Automotive Center. The initial powertrain will couple an International DT 466 inline 6- cylinder diesel engine with an Eaton series hybrid-electric drivetrain. Power from the engine is converted directly into electrical energy, which then incorporates a permanent magnet motor and the conventional drivetrain to power the truck. The system recovers kinetic energy during braking, charging the batteries while the truck is slowing down. This provides additional power for acceleration, making the hybrid trucks ideal for in-city driving situations with frequent starting and stopping. Additionally, the hybrid truck used in the pilot will operate the utility bucket in an electric-only mode, with the engine shut off, for up to 2 hours and provide electric power during idling for added fuel saving benefits. International and Eaton expect the hybrid to deliver a 40 to 60% increase in fuel economy. The diesel-electric hybrid test vehicles--International 4000 Series medium trucks--will be manufactured at International's Springfield, OH, truck assembly plant. If the pilot program is successful, International is prepared produce diesel-electric hybrid trucks as early as 2006. http://www.internationaldelivers.com/site_layout/news/newsdetail.asp? id=599 + FedEx introducing 10 hybrids in New York City FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. announced it had placed into service 10 hybrid diesel-electric delivery vehicles in New York City. The New York launch is a joint initiative with Environmental Defense, Eaton Corporation and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The OptiFleet E700 hybrid electric vehicles feature a parallel hybrid system from Eaton. The E700 hybrid uses a 4.3 liter, 4 cylinder Mercedes diesel, compared to the 5.9 liter, 6-cylinder Cummins in the standard W700 delivery vehicle. The E700s are also equipped with particulate filters. The FedEx OptiFleet hybrids were launched following an agreement with NYSERDA to demonstrate the viability of lower-emission hybrid powertrains in heavy-duty vehicles. The project received a grant from the federal NYCDOT Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds. http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=n ews_viewnewsId=20041020005264newsLang=en + Eaton and Peterbilt to produce hydraulic hybrids Peterbilt and Eaton Corporation have been jointly developing refuse trucks featuring Eaton's parallel hydraulic hybrid system called the Hydraulic Launch Assist (HLA). The HLA system works by recovering a portion of the energy normally lost as heat by the vehicle's brakes in the form of pressurized hydraulic fluid. This fluid is stored in on-board accumulators until the driver next accelerates the vehicle. Fuel savings occur when the stored energy is then blended with engine power to launch the vehicle during the initial, high fuel consumption start from stop. This also improves that acceleration due to the high power density of hydraulics. The system uses a reversible hydraulic pump/motor, coupled to the drive shaft through a clutch, and two accumulators. During braking, the pump/motor forces hydraulic fluid out of the low-pressure accumulator into the high pressure accumulator. During acceleration, the system switches from pump mode to motor mode. While the hydraulic fluid flows back into the low pressure accumulator, the pump/motor unit passes the torque to the driveshaft. The high pressure accumulator is pressurized using nitrogen gas. The HLA can provide a 2535% improvement in fuel consumption, 2535% reductions in emissions and a 50% reduction in brake wear, according to Eaton. Peterbilt plans to build and evaluate a production prototype of the vehicle during the next year. http://www.peterbilt.com/index_new_mor.asp?file=1658 + DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes F 500 Mind hybrid DaimlerChrysler issued an update on the Mercedes F 500 Mind concept, a passenger car diesel-electric hybrid unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in October last

[Biofuel] IEA releases World Energy Outlook 2004
October 2004 http://www.dieselnet.com/ IEA releases World Energy Outlook 2004 The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) has published its World Energy Outlook 2004, which--while presenting a reassuring assessment of the prospects for global energy supplies--draws attention to serious concerns about energy security, investment, the environment and energy poverty. IEA's executive director Claude Mandil referred to the current energy situation as an extremely unsettling environment and called for action to steer the global energy system onto a more sustainable path. It is predicted that--if governments stick with the policies in force as of mid-2004--the world's energy needs will be almost 60% higher in 2030 than they are now. Fossil fuels, which account for 85% of the increase, will continue to dominate the global energy mix. Two-thirds of the increased energy usage will be in the developing world, with China and India dominating the new demand. The report assumes that worldwide oil demand will grow 1.6% per year, from the current 82 million b/d to 90 million b/d in 2010 and to 121 million b/d in 2030. Global production of conventional oil will not peak before 2030 if the necessary investments are made. The world's vulnerability to supply disruptions, however, will increase as international trade expands. (The above figures are reasonably close to the predictions by the US DOE, where oil demand would grow by 1.9% per year to peak in 2037--see DieselNet UPDATE, September 2004). Climate destabilizing CO2 emissions will grow by 1.7% per year, to be more than 60% higher in 2030 than now, calling into question the sustainability of the current energy system. By 2010, energy related CO2 emissions are predicted to be 39% higher than in 1990, instead of stabilizing at the 1990 level as required by the Kyoto Protocol. Achieving a truly sustainable energy system will call for technological breakthroughs that radically alter how we produce and use energy. Government actions could slow CO2 emissions, but they could not reduce them significantly using existing technology. World energy demand is 10% lower and carbon-dioxide emissions are 16% lower in 2030 under an Alternative Policy Scenario, also considered in the report. The alternative scenario could be triggered by more vigorous government actions, including more efficient use of energy in vehicles, electric appliances, lighting and industry. http://library.iea.org/dbtw-wpd/bookshop/add.aspx?id=180 Summary: http://library.iea.org/dbtw-wpd/textbase/npsum/WEO2004SUM.pdf Press release: http://www.iea.org/Textbase/press/pressdetail.asp?PRESS_REL_ID=137 Oil Gas Journal editorial: http://ogj.pennnet.com/articles/web_article_display.cfm?ARTICLE_ID=21 4583 ___ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
[Biofuel] US EPA announces West Coast diesel initiative
October 2004 http://www.dieselnet.com/ US EPA announces West Coast diesel initiative The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a consortium of federal, state and local agencies and industry have launched the West Coast Diesel Emissions Reductions Collaborative--a $6 million initiative to reduce diesel emissions from trucks, ships, locomotives and other diesel sources along the West Coast. More than 400 interests have been involved in the program, which will find voluntary solutions and provide funding to reduce diesel emissions in California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Interests from British Columbia and Mexico have also joined this effort. Eight announcements were made on September 30th in San Diego, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Sacramento, San Francisco, Eugene OR, Portland and Seattle, to initiate a number of diesel emission reduction projects. Most of the total $6 million funding has been allocated for reduction of truck idle emissions by truck stop electrification or installing small auxiliary engines. $1.8 million has been budgeted for providing shore power to ships in the Seattle port to eliminate hotelling emissions. San Diego County Air Pollution Control District will start a $150,000 diesel emissions reduction demonstration project to investigate diesel retrofit technologies on heavy-duty trucks in the San Diego-Tijuana region. The Collaborative's goal is to ultimately secure $100 million through this public/private partnership to address diesel pollution problems in the west. Some of the most important diesel emission sources in the West Coast which were identified by the EPA are trucks traveling along the I-5 and I-99 corridors, ships and trains along the Pacific coast, agriculture equipment in California's Central Valley, and construction equipment in Los Angeles, Fresno, Seattle and Portland. http://yosemite.epa.gov/r9/r9press.nsf/7f3f954af9cce39b882563fd0063a0 9c/cad75a341fbae99488256f1f005d6ae3!OpenDocument ___ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
