Portland Bans Petroleum-Based Diesel.

[LostMy65]

Last week, the City Council passed a resolution that will gradually ban the sale of petroleum-based diesel fuel within city limits starting in 2024, a national first. By 2030, the city will require stations to sell only diesel made from low-carbon, renewable sources, such as used cooking oil or animal tallow, aka grease.

Not a bad idea........ If the vehicle can run on it without problems....... I dont have a great knowledge on Diesel, but I do know the system has to be able to accept the fuel since Diesel fuel has lubricating properties that are needed.

Hope they don't rely on trucking to bring stuff into and around the city...

I say we start a whale hatchery and start filling the oceans with renewable blubber - aka fuel.

When the trucks have no fuel the heating oil will stop being delivered! Really thought that one through eh! ?

All these bans and restrictions to replace everything with electric everything all reminds me of an issue back in the early 80's in California when the debate to save fish by restricting water usage by farmers.
You'd see bumper stickers "I Don't Need the Farmer. I Get My Food From the Grocery Store".
