			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Biodiesel Power</b> is a history of the people, organizations, politics and one mans passion for biodiesel; who the major players are now, what the future of this renewable source of fuel will be and how anyone can learn to get into it, from the blender batch to the full scale mini-refinery.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rainwaterharv-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=0865715416&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;padding:4px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="left"></iframe>Does the realm of current political struggle tend to make you upset or feel dependent in anyway every time you are forced to fill the gas tank with ever increasing gas prices?</p>
<p>What about the story of grass-roots activists and their co-ops, does that story intrigue you, or do you find interest in the commercial, moneymaking agribusiness of biofuel that has popped up in response?</p>
<p>This book takes you on a journey through all of those questions and the emerging biofuel industry, touching up on technical details like quality and specs (not teaching in depth how to make this veggie-fuel), exploring the whos and whats as well as the tensions that have existed and still exist today between the different players. </p>
<p>The author of this book, started out as a simple do-it-yourself, soon became the passionate mad chemist-type, went through hardships and success stories, to finally become Vice President of <a href="http://biofuels.coop/">Piedmont Biofuels</a> in Chatham County, North Carolina.</p>
<p>This 272-page paperback, written by Lyle Estill, published by New Society, made from recycled paper, measuring 8.3 x 5.5 x 1, ships at 13.6 ounces.</p>
<p>The passion, the people, and the politics of the next renewable fuel, Biodiesel Power is the kind of book that will help anybody looking to get into this field, understand what it takes to be successful, and most of all, the benefits of doing so, for a more sustainable way of life, that is self-reliant, right now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The complete guide to using vegetable oil as an alternative fuel, from the fryer to the fuel tank details running the diesel engine on vegetable oils, including information on biodiesel made from new or usedveggie oil and even straight vegetable oil (SVO) use. </p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rainwaterharv-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=0970722702&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;padding:4px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="left"></iframe>The economy is not prepared for the individual with a passion for making their own biodiesel, anyone doing it themselves and looking for inspiration from the countries most well-known biodiesel homebrew expert, will find this book is preaching what you want to hear and showing you step by step, how to get it right the very first time.</p>
<p>We all know that the greenhouse effect is causing serious damage to the environment, we also know that the biggest problem facing the world right now are the absurd amounts of petrol being burned into the atmosphere and that by closing the cycle, we may be able to help the planet repair itself, but is the government ready to start now?</p>
<p>No. The economy is not going to change overnight.  Most probably, the ones responsible for a change will be the average citizen who is concerned with the catastrophic effects global warming can have if we dont do anything about it.</p>
<p>Dino-diesel is exactly that, dead dinosaurs, who needed a seriously larger amount of vegetation to survive than is currently available on the planet at this time, they had a closed cycle and carbon neutrality, but to achieve that now, would be virtually impossible.</p>
<p>The world is not ready for reforestation, but some of us, those of us looking to make a difference right now, to our neighbors, family and friends, with a hobby that makes environmental sense, are willing to take the time and invest in at the very least, biodiesel automotives.</p>
<p>Taking that investment into the garage or backyard shed is a decision that each and every one of us needs to make on our own, but if you have already made that decision, this book was written for you.</p>
<p>This 162-page paperback, was written by Joshua and Kaia Tickell, edited by Kaia Roman, was published in the third edition in December of 2000, measuring 9.8 x 7 x 0.6 and it ships at 13.4 ounces.</p>
<p>Why use biodiesel, detailed information on how to make it yourself in the garage, lists of parts, dealers, organizations, recipes and ingredients for tree-huggers that enjoy mechanical chemistry projects and are fascinated with the idea of making better use of diesel engines for a more sustainable vehicle economy that is carbon neutral.</p>
<p>This book will take you From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank, with everything you need to know how to Do-It-Yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a practical book on <b>how to make biodiesel</b> from <strong>vegetable oil</strong>, with all the introductory information that people are looking for, including the chemistry and hardware involved, step by step.</p>
<p>Deep in the recesses of time, the dinosaurs once walked the earth, there was more vegetation and the dragons that roamed these lands were far larger than their serpent ancestors of today.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rainwaterharv-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=0954917103&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;padding:4px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="left"></iframe>Thus the smaller creatures became, the less vegetation was needed to consume the CO2 we Oxygen users give off, but with the mining of the mortal remains of that lost legion of gigantic reptiles, they exhale once last fatal time, at a moment, when we find ourselves at our knees to the devastating effects of disappearing Ozone.</p>
<p>CO2 emissions are affecting the whole planet and the greenhouse effect needs to be contained as soon as possible, we could start with biodiesel, a neutral fuel.</p>
<p>Biodiesel burns off CO2, but the plants that created it, consume CO2, thus there is a closed cycle going on. Diesel cars will also quickly get more efficient because of stricter regulation.</p>
<p>Chemistry is a tough one to handle sometimes, but if the reader enjoys chemistry and do-it-yourself projects, or is just looking to get into the business of biofuel production, this book has all the basic information very clearly detailed, with special information for those living in the UK, such as legality.</p>
<p>This 124-page paperback, written by Dan M. Carter and Jon Halle, was published by Low-impact Living Initiative in March of 2005, measuring 9.1 x 6.1 x 0.5 and it ships at 6.4 ounces.</p>
<p>A practical guide to using vegetable oil for diesel production, the environmental benefits of biodiesel, the chemistry involved, step by step instructions and the legal system involved with biodiesel production in the United Kingdom, a book for beginners looking for introductory information on How To Make Biodiesel, for a more sustainable global community that is ready for carbon neutrality.</p>

<p>A student of film, author <a href="http://joshtickell.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Josh Tickell</a> speaks out about energy security and the alternatives available in such solutions as biodiesel.  While challenging governments and automakers, Josh Tickell offers a complete energy roadmap to wean our country off of its dependence upon foreign oil.</p>
<p>The price of a barrel of oil, OPEC instability, Venezuela exporting like wildfire, Chinas growing demand, concerns about Iraq, Human rights in Niger, the rural American economy struggling, environmental damage caused by fossil fuels, so alarming that it has been stated as more dangerous than terrorist attacks, health problems in our society increase, from cancerto asthma&#8230; and yet toxic emissions increase?</p>
<p>This is a 340 page hardcover published by Yorkshire Press in February of 2006, measuring 9.1 x 6.2 x 1.1 and shipping at 1.4 pounds.</p>
<p>Josh Tickells new book suggests a viable alternative in biodiesel that solves the question of energy security for a more sustainable and self-reliant tomorrow that we can grow independently.</p>
<p><i>Farmers, economists, politicians and environmentalists will enjoy this alternative view on what is quickly becoming an alternative for energy security.  Biodiesel America offers a roadmap to exactly that energy security.</i></p>
