Check out this story about grease rustling.
"Police suspect the Illinois man, who worked for Restaurant Oils of America in Las Vegas, intended to recycle the oil at an Atascadero refinery for $1.35 a gallon. A full tank would have been worth $6,750."
The black market prospects of biogreasel (as opposed to biodiesel) are amazing. A 2500 mile trip for a trucker costs him 1000 dollars in fuel.
Barely enough cash to keep his truck payments, insurance, and maintenance current is left over. Even if he drives twice the legal limit. Barreling down the freeway half asleep.
If he managed to get fuel from recycled grease? He might even be able to afford to keep working. 90% of truckers are independents, imagine the desperate situation their families are facing.
What a mess bushco gas guzzling hath wrought.
The next time you see a semi coming the other way on the highway, towards your car, think about how sleepy/speedy that driver has to be to (almost) make a living. And how he probably voted for duuhbya ...twice. Yow.
