I'm even a bit nervous about using B99 in my 15 year old diesel pickup. As noted,Anyone running their Ford Lehman’s on biodiesel. Our fuel dock is now offering “Neste MY renewable Diesel”.
Uh, no.NY you mean “petro diesel” being 50/50 gasoline and diesel?

"I also don’t see the point in it. The math says recreational trawlers are just not meaningful contributors to climate change."
If you are burning it you are producing CO2.
Then add in the energy to plant, harvest, and process biofuels.
Boating under power requires energy. If someone is concerned about their "carbon footprint" then sailing or solar electric is the answer, not a switch to some other combustible fuel.
If we could just stop people exhaling.....Greetings,

Animals, bacteria and living things in general do not increase the atmospheric CO2,If we could just stop people exhaling.....
Until China & the rest of the 3rd world buy in, debating this is a moot point. Be a hero & go "green", it's like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic.
Makes about as much sense as throwing your plastic trash overboard because 'they' do.Until China & the rest of the 3rd world buy in, debating this is a moot point. Be a hero & go "green", it's like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic.
The point of it is to reduce ones carbon footprint - pretty straightforward. Whether that comes from reducing air travel, switching fuels, changing one's diet, etc. it all counts the same.

As the second largest CO2 producer worldwide, our actions have a major impact on this issue.
It should be noted that the US' per capita CO2 output is ahead of most countries,https://www.investopedia.com/articl...Carbon,The U.S. 3. India. 4. Russia. 5. Japan.
The US may be #2. However, #1 is two and a half times the output of #2
If one were to add in North America (Canada and Mexico), the #1 spot is still over double North America
And the countries of numbers 1, 3, 4, 5 and six are all Asia. Making the vast output of CO2.
Sure US government control in America makes a difference. However, the gains in the future that are possible will come at a far greater cost than what has been done in the past. As a consumer/producer I am not willing to pay at lot more.
If it helps, a smaller mix of bio in diesel may be OK. Seems like a large amount comes with a penalty price for an industry that may not even register in the big scheme of things. I will do my part in keeping all of my machinery running in a well maintained condition. That also includes waste disposal. Just don't force me, the retail consumer, to do things that other countries have not even considered. Go after the sources that can make the bigger difference instead of going down the road (or water) of taking away my recreation source to make someone feel good with almost no global impact.
