How does this compare with driving a diesel fueled with WVO/UCO?

I know this is off topic, but one of the eco folks you should feature is my friend Richard Factor. He developed an uninterruptible power source using his Toyota Prius. Wired and the New York Times ran pieces on him. You can find his project here: http://www.priups.com/riklblog/</p>

wewantutopia: Because some of the emissions of the diesel are not recaptured in the carbon cycle, and because you're relying on the WVO from the restaurant, your emissions are then even worse.
It's as I've been saying for years: Move to a place where you can use transit and support the development of electric rail systems. Use a bicycle. Only 8% of the world uses a car - get out of that statistic.

I think the idea is to eat less deep-fried and grilled food, especially in places that use cheap hydrogenated cooking oil.

I've been wondering what can be done to reduce pollution form restaurants. There are a few restaurants I can see from my window that are nearly constantly spewing blue smoke from their vents. I'm glad to know there are systems to clean up the exhaust... I just wish it would be implemented here in Washington.

One last item…..
Let’s focus on the real culprits here on planet earth. It is not you or me or our cars or our fast food restaurants or even home barbeques. It is big business….and the two worst are Big Oil and Big Auto.
There are so many other natural resources we can use that are clean…Hydrogen, Solar, and Electric for three…However with their big money they block any progress that we as Earthlings have done and expect. (This is similar to Google or Yahoo or even Microsoft – do as we want not as you want since we will make sure there is no other way…)
Sorry to say this…but get off your “Tree Hugging” crap and get into the real world. (We even have technology that replaces the use of trees....but Big Business stops this technology.) Trying to stop fast food restaurants do nothing for the real problems we face. Backing Al Gore on his unsubstantiated global warming claims are the same….unless of course your agency is dependent on government grants – it gets you no where.
The real problem folks is Big Business who have bought our elected officials that make sure we stay with their outdated resources for their profits and destroy our earth…..
Think about this folks……are you Gorebots (you know Chicken Little "the sky is falling") or are you true members of planet earth that have some form of common sense who researches for the truth?

How is this different than home cooking? Did anyone go and calculate how much VOC the regular home puts out?
Is all VOC bad? Is the smell of cooked food cosidered VOC, and therefore bad?
definately not important

I think you all need to find something better to do with your time than worry about something you really can't control.

And we all think you should ask yourself why you're here making a useless comment and demonstrating that you can't spell.
