Comments on: Run Your Car on Wood? No Joke. http://gas2.org/2008/05/13/run-your-car-on-wood-no-joke/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Most likely this will never be a popular option - I also don't think running an engine on french fry oil is practical for most people and won't be popular. However, the exciting thing is that we are re-discovering options found decades ago that may work for some people in some cases. Example, I have a brother-in-law with his own saw mill. He usually just gets rid of all the shavings and saw dust any way he can, usually just spreading them on his property. He can't give enough of it away. For him (and for me) this could be an option that can work since I have access to these resources. Knowing about the technology and having resources to use it is a big key - as for global warming, yeah keep that idea up. I don't think that is gaining a whole lot any more either - thankfully Common sense – before people get too excited – or put this idea down too far think about what this does – it is an option.

My 91 oldsmobile runs perfect on the woodgas and my 95 oldsmobile runs great with the gasifier trailer behind it. I am currently building a stand alone gasifer for it. I have the tough parts done already and plan to piece it together this week while it is below zero here. Regards, Mike Hello Me, Jack, Mr. John, Truck is still running fine.

Greenhouse gasses? Are people really that dumb? There is no harm in burning wood. Millions of Americans heat their homes with wood, including me. The carbon in the wood came from the environment. When the wood burns it releases the carbon which is then picked up by the next tree/plant/etc... It is moving the carbon around, not dumping extra carbon in the air. When fossil fuels are burned, that carbon is locked deep underground and is not suppose to see the light of day. Burning wood goes NOT contribute to global warming. Only people that could possible be made are the true tree huggers. Locomotives stopped using wood once coal became more available. They stopped using coal when oil became readily available. Matter of fact, some of the last steam engines were converted to burn oil instead of coal/wood. WHAT????? Greenhouse gasses? Are people really that dumb? There is no harm in burning wood.
