any thoughts?
"... delighted researchers, who said it was proving as efficient as
fossil fuel while emitting less than half as much carbon dioxide."

Now that's a neat trick, I guess they really mean "less than half as
much *fossil* carbon dioxide".
Yup, that set my bull**** detector ringing as well!

While not a bad idea, it strikes me there is only a limited amount of
the stuff to go about about.

Not sure I follow the: "Andrew Robertson, of Clean Energy Consultancy,
said: "It’s preferable to use biofuel as a heating fuel rather than
for transport.

Erm, so what? Surely the point is you are displacing fossil carbon
emissions wherever you use it?

Its the thought of all those vehicles driving around smelling like kebab
shops :-) Less smelly if it remains in one place.

The farm next door to us reprocesses oil on a commercial basis. Other
than seeing the occasional sign written van arrive or leave, one is
never usually made aware of this. However a couple of weeks back, I kept
walking outside and smelling Chinese food - thinking hmmm, that smells
nice, who has got a large kung po chicken! Eventually I realised they
must have been reprocessing oil from a Chinese or similar, and the wind
was in a different direction from normal.
