    "He said the resulting "high quality bio-diesel" costs just 15 pence per litre.

    Koch said the cadaver of a fully grown cat can produce 2.5 litres of fuel - meaning around 20 cats are needed for a full tank."

    He said: "I tank my car with my own diesel mixture and have driven it for 105,000 miles without any problems."

    Where is that Violent Kitty when you need him? Come to think of it, I've got a quarter of a tank running around my living room.

    To go along with the thread in the club:

    I think the moon an has a lot of crude... they have ID'ed "hydrocarbons"..

    There is an ocean of the stuff right there.. hard part is landing.. melting it.. and bringing it back home...

    Crude oil is not 100% dino poop...

    It's a core resin and common material found across the galaxy in planet formations.

    I thought that the main fossil ingredients are micro organisms of the single celled variety that aren't given enough oxygen to decay the normal way...It makes sense to me...because that would be a whole lot of dinosaur in concentrated locations...were they potty trained?

    There's new research that suggests it's not a fossil fuel at all and that it's replenishing itself from somewhere deep in the earth's mantle.

    It could be that organisms exist in it by nature or contamination..

    I think there is a whole surface ocean of exotic crude oil on an..

    The REAL dark spot on the very left middle...

    I've seen that information...

    Kinda makes you think about the consequences of drilling it all out doesn't it..even if you entertain the ludicrous notion that it is a rapidly renewable resource...there's still a limit on how quickly it can renew itself...

    When you take something out of the earth faster than the earth can put it back, what do you think is going to happen where the space was created? Krrraaack.

    Crude oil/petroleum is a hyrdocarbon, but all hydrocarbons are not crude oil.

    It's not that new, and its something that a lot of geologists refer to as "stupid." I wouldn't go that far, but it is a bit of a stretch.

    If you can find some good sites on this, I would appreciate it.

    I have gotten into a converasation with a conspiracy buff who is convinced "they" are keeping the information on this theory from being public.

    Bio-diesel is, by the way, rather energy and cost inefficient, when one looks at the whole cycle.

    I would be willing to bet that the cost given for the gallon of bio-diesel is using donated mass.

    One has to remember that to create bio-diesel: you have to plant crops, fertilize and water them, harvest them, then process that bio-mass into the finished product.

    You do get some free energy from the photosynthesis involved, but bio-diesel is too energy-inefficient to run a civilization on.
