I think if it was available in larger quantities, AND if you don't have to get a new furnace to use this oil, then it would become an option right away....but did think his comment was interesting.... "The biodiesel industry in this country is expanding exponentially," says Greg Pahl, author of Biodiesel: Growing a New Energy Economy. Pahl has used biodiesel in his oil furnace at home in Vermont for four years. But he points out that if biodiesel catches on as predicted, the waste vegetable oil that individuals like Parris are using could become a commodity, and it would no longer be easily obtained for free. And there's another problem. "We probably won't be able to replace more than 10 percent to 15 percent of our current petrodiesel usage with biodiesel," he says. "Ultimately, the answer is relying on a broad range of renewable-energy strategies including biofuels of all types."
