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...
