[Stoves] Gulu Week In Review from Ken Goyer, forwarded by Warren

[Richard Stanley]

AD/Ken,
There is lots of used oil,(WVO) after third and fourth use. The issue  
will be polymerisation of that oil if the iodine content is not  
correct. The Journey to Forever website which amongst dozens of such  
sites, details the issues around using the different types of oils  
per different climates..
That and your brilliant compact biogas can turn it around. But that  
said, I feel that as members of this planet, we are all rather  
condemned to our future, not by a lack of technology or access or  
even cash or time or skill, but a lack of awareness and committment  
to change.
Richard
