Paradigm Shifting Without a Clutch

From the Telegraph, two left-wing obsessions colliding head on:
A van converted by Derby council to run on cooking oil from school kitchens, thus saving the planet from carbon emissions, will now sit in the municipal garage because "healthy" meals for pupils are not producing enough fuel. As the van is part of the council's catering fleet, this might limit the delivery of healthy fodder to the very children who once provided its oily fuel in less cholesterol-aware days.
There are times when all I can say is, life is good.

  1. Second only to Al Gore's house using twenty times the energy of an average American home, this story has made my week.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
