Professor: “ Diesel engines produce much greater levels of particulate matter than internal combustion engines do.”
I know what she meant, but...

Did you ask how since diesels are internal combustion engines? You may know the difference but some kid just learned in college that diesels aren’t internal combustion engines.

Are we talking peanut oil or coal dust as fuel?

You know that sewer oil that Chinese use for cooking? We should filter our sewage and just mix that in diesel. It will be called S10 Diesel. Super cheap fuel!

Fats, oils, and greases that do make it to the sewage treatment plant might be turned into digester gas, if the plant is so equipped and operated. then it’s a matter of stripping out the undesireables from the digester gas to yield biogas/natural gas.
Some plants are taking spent cooking oil directly for this purpose.

Well since “environmental economics” is pretty much an oxymoron, you should’ve seen this coming

I’m going to file this post into the same folder I just put the sentence “ Diesel engines produce much greater levels of particulate matter than internal combustion engines do.”in.

Yeah a couple of weeks ago one of my professors told us that her first car was one where she “had to move the transmission by hand.” You mean a fucking manual you twit.

Once you leave the academic setting and work somewhere that has to deal with compliance costs from every political whim, I hope you’ll reopen that folder. Then again with how many jobs I’ve seen pushed off to less restrictive places, maybe fewer people will see the direct costs.
