Biodiesel - The Fuel of the Future
If you are the kind of person who would go to all
lengths in order to ensure the health and safety of our planet, you
may want to think twice about purchasing that hybrid and instead of
selecting a vehicle that runs on biodiesel fuels. While hybrid vehicles
like the Prius are all well and good, and do get a fantastic amount
of mileage, they are far inferior to vehicles that run on biodiesel
when you consider their impact on the environment.
Hybrids, you see, still require petroleum based products like
gasoline and oil in order to run – so they still produce quite a few
pollutants. And that is not even taking into account the toxicity of
the battery and the large amounts of electromagnetic radiation
produced by a hybrid, both of which are factors associated with its
electric motors.
Cars and trucks that run on biodiesel oils and fuels on the other
hand are almost totally clean burning because they use natural
materials as a substitute for highly refined petroleum based
fuels. While a hybrid is busy getting sixty or seventy miles
per gallon, an automobile using a biodiesel will produce as much as
sixty percent less pollutants over practically the same distance. As
you can see, biodiesel is a much cleaner burning fuel.
One of the truly amazing factors about biodiesel is that it can be
made from practically anything. While most biological fuels in
America are made from oil feedstock, companies have also
successfully shown that they can produce biodiesel from waste
vegetable oil, animal fats, treated sewage, and practically even
from thin air. This means that biodiesel can potentially be
extremely cheap over the long term because there are so many sources
for production. Finally, any car, truck or boat with a diesel engine
can run on biodiesel fuels automatically – there are no additional
parts that you have to purchase for your vehicle, making it a cheap
and effective solution for those who want to protect the
environment.
