School buses frozen over by “clean” diesel

by @ 7:07 on February 8, 2007. Filed under Politics.

The Wall Street Journal has a story on how ultralow-sulfur diesel fuel has left school buses throughout the country unable to run during the ongoing bout of “global warming”. A couple of observations:

  • The process of refining ultralow-sulfur diesel leaves it more susceptible to gelling than the now-banned version. That is undoubtedly true, but with the temperatures that we’ve had this week, even the relatively-high sulfur diesel would be gelling without the winter additives. Further, I don’t seem to be seeing a whole lot of semis on the side of the road stalled out because of gelled fuel.
  • The story notes that some school officials didn’t know they needed to use additives or kerosene (which must also be ultralow-sulfur) in cold weather. And these are the Gorons that are educating indoctrinating our kids?
