To solve the energy crisis, we are enticing people to cook and eat fatty, oily foods so that they can convert their cooking sludge into bio diesel?
Well won't the people eating this type of food get bigger and fatter and thus require larger cars like SUV's which will therefore require MORE fuel - which will cause fat people to eat YET EVEN MORE? - thus requiring EVEN LARGER VEHICLES (like HUMMERS) which require EVEN MORE FUEL which....
Or..... you could go to the local deep fryer joint and tell them you'll dispose of their extra oil for free. That way usually works better for them and you.
Yeah. And you think the deep frier owner or manager won't have one of these him/herself? I agree with Flashpoint. This product doesn't offer much but to make the people that will potentially use it fatter. Not only do they have to use their own cooking oil but they'll also be using it to create fuel for the vehicle. They should be walking off all of that consumed fat instead.
Someone needs to invent a fuel pod for human waste or urine. That right there is our solution. As disgusting as it sounds, it only makes sense.
Uh, no. The idea is that people with diesel vehicles (such as myself), can buy a product that will turn used cooking oil into biodiesel. It doesn't say WHOS used cooking oil.
Typically, people who make their own biodiesel have ways of getting used cooking oil that doesn't include owning a fryer themselves. Restaurants have to get rid of this stuff and are actually more than willing to let you take it off their hands. How many restaurants are around your house with fryers? Get the picture?
So, we're just utilizing what fat america is already eating, not promoting more of it. It's a utilization of waste and turning it into something that not only helps the environment, but our dependence on foreign fuel.
Can you really argue with that? Now the price point of this device, that's another matter...
We aren't getting fat off grease we're getting fat off high fructoses corn syrup. So maybe we eat less of that crap, plow under the corn and figure a way to grow sugarcane like they use in Brazil!
restaurants generally have to pay for their old oil to be taken away. That's why this is so cost effective. you are taking it off their hands for free.
