The "green" initiative is admirable to a certain extent. It helps to ensure we are good stewards of our resources. However, most of the people pushing this initiative simply don't see past the short term benefits. They continue to promise cost savings, yet fail to realize the basic tenants of supply and demand. Sure, today you can convert your car engine so it runs on used french fry oil and run your car for free (if you talk a burger joint into giving your their discarded oil). However, what would happen if every car on the road did the same? Do you think used french fry oil would be free then? Not at all. In fact, the cost of that french fry oil might even surpase that of what we pay for fossil fuels today! So always look at green initiatives with a critical eye and don't fall for everything you read or hear.

Are you saying my new car that runs on 80% empty promises ... is in fact increasing my emptiness?
