[RE-wrenches] Wrench Transpiration

[bob]

After looking at it, it looks like the program is pretty useless except in
limited circumstances. The vehicle you turn in has to have been
"continuously registered and insured for a year" to be eligible. As well as
be on the "list of approved vehicles" 

That figures, I just retired one that would have qualified and registered
another that is on the list but has not been "continuously registered and
insured for a year" even though I have owned it for over 4 years so it does
not qualify. 

Rust is killing the one that I really want to replace but it is still
getting 43 MPG and not on the list anyway.

Re the CARS.gov program, here's a NY Times article that says a bit more
about the program:

r%20Allowance%20Rebate%20System&st=cse>
&scp=2&sq=Car%20Allowance%20Rebate%20System&st=cse

It turns out that  the program benefits a pretty limited segment of the
population.

 

Re Tickell, his original book was my first exposure to biofuels years ago.
Today I drive an '85 Mercedes diesel on used sopapilla/chile relleno canola
oil (this being Nuevo Mexico).

Just wanted to share this, as some folks could benefit from a trade in and
sequester some carbon and save some fuel economy boost as well as re-market
their image.

Politics aside, the intent has good merit.

About 2 weeks ago, these folks where here in Hawaii and we saw the film. I
recall buying Joshua's book many years ago and he was on the bleeding edge
of taking this concept mainstream.
It is a good movie, docu-drama about our insatiable appetite for the black
gold.

If you are considering a new wrench transportation option, the timing seems
to be apropos.
