I can't believe someone didn't think of this already. Oh, wait there is an entire industry built around collecting used oil from restaurants and recycling into other products.
Yuh Jimmy these guys are targeted by the petroleum industry specifically to be screwed. Kinda like your fans are screwed by the ever increasing ticket prices to your concerts.“These guys are always being screwed by the high cost of diesel,” Buffett says.
Rub yours on me and I'll rub mine on you

But the difference is that for the fishermen it means earning a living and putting food on the table for their families.Skibo wrote:I can't believe someone didn't think of this already.

For the concert goer - it is simply a matter of choice if they want to spend their money on a night of fun.
Sorry - no comparison in my eyes....
I LOVE the fact that the very oil used to cook the shrimp is being REUSED to fuel the shrimp boats!
There's this one particular harbor.....
