San Francisco has more restaurants per capita than any other U.S. city, producing tasty meals-and thousands of gallons of used cooking oil. See how the SFGreasecycle program is turning this grease glut into fuel for the city's bus fleet.
For more information on the SFGreasecycle program go to sfwater.org/index.aspx?page=465

There are people who get taxed to death to pay for public programs, we are the people who need this resource. San Francisco has no business taking this free resource from the public; and for gods sake they arent even doing it right.

What do you mean free??? You gotta process the shit out of the stuff to make it into fuel. And that ain't cheap.

@@JackIsNotInTheBox I mean I'm a man who goes around town and gets *free* oil. Donut shop gives me fryer grease as does our local Italian restaurant. What do you mean it 'ain't cheap'? Have you ever processed biodiesel? It's *super cheap* . Costs next to nothing so long as a person is willing to put in the work. Government rips money out of the hands of hard workers and puts it into the hands of drug addicts and child abusers. I hate the idea that the beneficiaries of my money are sticking their grubby fucking hands into one of the last things Americans have left that we can take control of. I make my own fuel for my truck for about a third of what I would pay otherwise.

@@CaliforniaCarpenter7 Okay but not everyone knows how to process biofuel, so even if the government gave the grease to some random dude on the street, he isn't going to profit from it.

WTF…. Did ya’ll catch the last 10 seconds? Only 20% of the diesel used is bio / restaurant oil. What a lie, the whole video she makes it sound like 80-100% of the city diesel is bio diesel… They can do better!
