Oils from any source still produce CO2. Greenhouse gas.



I'm surprised by that statement Mary. Surely the point is whether a fuel
is carbon-neutral or not.


That's another element of the equation.

If you burn veg oil in your boiler, your net CO2 contribution is almost
zero (processing/transport costs mean it isn't *zero*). This is a far
'greener' way of heating your house than using electricity derived from
any source other than nuclear.


Wind.

By the way - global warming - despite what the media would have you
believe, scientific opinion is still very much divided over whether *any*
of the observed global warming is anthropogenic in nature.


I know. But I prefer not to gamble on it. The words "Best Scientific Advice"
have a hollow ring ...
