sort of...
watching the news (a rare thing sometimes) last night - NBC specifically - i hear a teaser that kept me within earshot of the tube...
about BioWillie... damn cool - they're gonna talk about BioDiesel! Sweet!
course i realize that its prolly cause that chimp mentioned something about alternative fuels and that biod is usually included....
sokay - press is press... just as the Korean's who claimed to have cloned....
anyway - read the short story version here:
msnbc.msn.com/id/11131407/
Willie made a mention that he's been doing this stuff (biod) longer than 'W' has been talking it up...
well...
I'm pretty GD sure i've been onthe band wagon long before ol'Willie, but that's okay... BioDiesel is a damn fine thing.
The NOx issue: a non-issue, esp if automakers clean up gasoline emissions. NOx alone is harmless and does NOT make smog on its own. It needs to react with gasoline emissions to become a problem....
that and all ya gotta do is retard the timing a bit, add a cooled EGR and that drops the NOx down to ULEV emission levels IIRC - and even further you can stick a NOx scrubber so that the only thing coming out of the tail pipe on a Diesel vehicle is CO2, O2 and H2O (the O2 cause its there - and is registering on every 4 gas test i've ever seen)... not a drop of CO...
nothin in there can kill ya - assuming its tuned and efficient...
ah well...
I'm still just a bike commuter now - and my fuel is easier to find than the fuel for my TDI...
