Biodiesel Vs. Ethanol

Alana Bliss has added you as a friend on Architects of a New DawnThank you for your biofuel post in the living green group. My partner and I converted out 81 school bus to run on straight veggie oil and drove to Costa Rica. Also I'm glad you pointed out the algae.

Ron, I was born Ronald Alexander Reid but swapped the first two names about 10 years ago. Al Electric cars is the way of the future. food shortages will make bio-gas far too expensive for the masses.Comment by Ron Alexander 19 hours ago Good question, Alexander -

Most people do not know that biodiesel is not ethanol. The original fuel for the diesel was peanut oil. It can use any kind of oil, and is the only fuel that can be reclyable, as used cooking oil can be used and is used by many biodiesel users. Algae has become the favorite source, as it is a quick growing co2 eater and great oxygen producer. It is being grown in many waste ponds as well as swamps, marshes and salt water.
Diesel is a much superior engine. It is simpler, with no points, spark plugs, condensers, etc, need. It is more economical. It is much more durable. It is much safer. It does not produce dangerous carbon monoxide. Almost all commercial boats are run by diesel engines because of this. I used to be a passenger carrying yacht captain, and have rebuilt the engine myself in the tropics.
Biodiesel is a much more superior fuel than ethanol as it has much more lubricity being an oil, and has a lower flash point making it much safer. And very importantly it is biodegradable!
Europe knows about diesels and over 52 % of all autos there are diesel, and there is a 5 % mandate for all the fuel to be biodiesel. Even 1 % biodiesel improves the exhaust. In our state, the school districted has mandated 20% biodiesel for the school buses, as so many students have lung problems from toxicity of fossil fuels.The ultralow sulfur diesel mandate has really improved the fossil fuel exhaust in this country, and hybrid lovers were shocked when the new Jetta TDI (Yes it is a diesel) won the Green Car of the Year award this year. VW was not able to import the TDI for 3 years because of the EPA mandate, as they had a harder time engineering an affordable exhaust system to fit the EPA standards.The Jetta is just as efficient as an Hybrid, and is a much better performer with a carbon nuetral exhaust, which the gasoline hybrid still produces. The battery contains very toxic acid and has to rely on a usually coal driven power grid to charge it.
For more information, you may look up biodieselamerica.com or read Josh Tickell's book Biodiesel America. I will attach one of my articles for you to read: Also you can scoll down and read the article I wrote below: Surprise - the Green Car of the Year is a Diesel!

Comment by Ron Alexander 19 hours ago Good question, Alexander - I have alot of big plastic container full of the "E Junk". I have the same last name, you know it means "defender of humankind" from original Greek?I looked in local newspaper this morning and was happy to find my piece onSurprise, the Green Car of the Year is a Diesel, except they titled it Clean Diesel offer environmental benefit Whatever I sent it out to local new biodiesel plant, as after seeing the film Whaledreamers yesterday, I want to spend more time promoting a biodegradable, carbon neutral fuel - biodiesel. Our beautiful marine beings would really appreciate not being poisoned by fossil fuels and so will our children and all of us! RonP.S. Portion of the film's proceeds are going to help save the rain forests.
