Actually, Bunker C, which is what a lot of older ships use for fuel, is
very dense and must be preheated before it can be injected into an engine.
Many more BTU's fit into the same space as lighter, more highly refined
diesel fuels, so more cargo can be carried on vessels so equipped. The rest
of the world uses it, even on smaller vessels.
There is once again insanity in session at the Oregon Capitol.
Presently being discussed is a bill to outlaw the practice of oil well
fracking in the state of Oregon. Just for your information, there are no
oil wells in Oregon, and no known reserves of oil. There are 4 natural gas
wells that are bored into bituminous coal beds near Coos Bay, that are low
producing wells. Other sources of natural gasses in the state are largely
from sewage treatment plants, and covered up landfills.
Oh yes, the highest producer of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is the
restrooms at the State Capitol Building. (Grin)
