While this is a good idea, the Council should make sure that it is not creating a new environmental problem as it addresses an existing one. I have heard that the pressure to produce vegetable oil for these purposes has caused large swaths of jungle to be cleared for the planting of palm oil trees to produce the oil to satisfy this new demand. That is not a good thing. The legislation should specify that only already-used oil qualifies.
