Mr Biodiesel

[andygates]

Here's an interesting new product: GreenFuels' FuelPod2. 

It's a sort of Mr Biodiesel which you feed with waste oil and methanol and it chugs away making a 50 litre batch of fuel. Kinda like a bread machine for recycling fuel. This sort of consumer-grade processor's a great idea and I think it will have a big market.

My parents keep saying renewables won't work.

On a large scale I agree.

Micro-renewables have to be the way to go. That will work. I just wish home design was already doing it.

Very few people know how to go about microgenerating. Only a couple of electricity companies make it easy - it's one of the reasons I chose Good Energy (they have a pack n'everyfink). Granted, I currently have no means of doing it, but that's a trivium.

On a large scale, biomass doesn't scale up well, nor does hydro. Wind can. Tidal is like fusion, permanent Future Tech. I think it's pretty clear that the govt want to go towards nuclear + renewables.
