jrdncatalano asked:


So I was cooking on a TEFLON pan, when suddenly I noticed that the oil was turning green….I thought I had bad oil, so I went to the store and bought, new cooking oil….I never knew oil expired, but I thought maybe it does! So I got the new oil, and cooked again!! And once again, it happened!!! the oil turned green again!! then I was thinking, new oil? it’s not expired, what is going on?!?I then realized that I had never cooked on this pan before, cause it was new….So I switched pans to a new stainless steel pan….I started cooking, and the oil was normal. I don’t know what to think. Please help. The oil looked like chemical waiste when I did it on the teflon pan.

Thanks much!! XoXo

What is the impact of supply oversaturation in the biodiesel market?

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Banker asked:


Currently production capacity is 580MM gallons; an additional 1,400MM gallons are expected to be produced within the next 18 months, bringing the total supply around 2 billion gallons annually. Demand is very heavy due to government tax incentives and regulations, however at some point the market price of biodiesel has to decrease as consolidation in the supply market (like Exxon) will drive prices lower. Currently price of biodiesel is around $2.75/gallon. What is the impact of supply oversaturation in the biodiesel price?
