Jul 16th 2008 11:04AM if you read that article you can see the cost analysis is very complex, but it's naive to think they haven't already done all the math on various grains.

Jun 18th 2008 1:42PM most people complain when a manual isn't offered.
I can't blame them - they are more reliable, more efficient, and more fun
have you ever heard a guy complain about a stick shift?
if you don't like them, fine, but don't complain when a hard-to-find transmission is paired with a hard-to-find engine. It's a nice package and a good decision on Nissan's part.

Is George Soros right about an oil price bubble that will burst? {Autoblog Green}
Jun 2nd 2008 2:05PM "16. SPECULATORS MY ASS! Crude oil is an $11B a DAY market. Just think of what it would take to influence that one way or another. Listen to the pessimists, they may be wrong this time but the will be right eventually."
umm what it would take is an unregulated market with liberal margin requirements and a good share of the US retirement holdings of managed by Goldman Sachs
there are $5 daily swings in the price of oil on days with no news
Restaurant waste oil grease thefts on the rise {Autoblog Green}
Jun 2nd 2008 10:14AM Either the restaurant is selling the grease, in which case they can afford to lock it up, or it isn't, in which case they should just let people use it.
I doubt this is even a problem on the east coast cities where biodiesel production is relatively uncommon.

May 30th 2008 9:53AM demand growth is in the single digits. A 500% increase in price is not justified by supply and demand.
When the floor gives way (which should be pretty soon judging by the incredibly increase in volume in short vehicles like DUG) we will discover most of the price run up was due to futures traders at Goldman Sachs and other firms, as well as those financed by OPEC nations, cornering an unregulated market. Hopefully they will find a way to store a tanker full of oil inside a manhattan condo.
