    You were priviledged! Is he still around?, be rather old by now! Crafty like a fox, was our Smokey, but had a real understanding of physics and chemistry. I appreciated the way he could put technical terms into plain English for us laymen!

    The gumint has said that the mixed fuel prices will be equivalent to standard fuel prices, meaning that if petrol and diesel prices are through the roof then so will mixed fuels?

    It's also not largely run with Huntly coal either,they buy coal from overseas and it's railed from Tauranga to Huntly....I think some Huntly coal is high grade and sold overseas too.The open cast West Mine is fed straight to the power station,but the underground East Mine is higher quality and not used at the power station.What the hell would I know,I only live here...I only hear rumours.

    Yes. Two words "environmental disaster".

    Supposedly there's an obesity epidemic. And I heard the Earthrace guy had a bit of liposuction so he could use some of himself to fuel the boat.

    I reckon we just kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of all the fat people who eat too much, requiring extra land for their food, who drive everywhere when they could walk 200m to the shops, who generally put the health system under extra pressure because of fat-related illnesses, and so on.

    We don't need to spend any extra rescources growing them, they're already here.

    Melt 'em down, and use them for fuel. It would solve a lot of problems.

    H2O2 on the other hand is hydrogen peroxide.
    Fair call (I guess...) but I'm still not drinking it
