They banned #6 a couple years ago to go in effect this year. I am sure #4 is on its way. I wonder how many industrial boilers still even run it? It was popular to convert to nat gas due to cost decades ago.
Its only a matter of time before they go after #2, AKA home heating oil
Arent they concerned about all the ships rolling into NY harbor running bunker?

I'd like to see more renewables going into diesel engines... like running them on sunflower or other plant-based oils. Whatever happened to that?

Heck they could even make a #4 fuel using that kind of lesser refined oil for heating.

That does not fit the agenda. Diesel bad, must eliminate.
If you go to the midwest there is biodiesel at the pump everywhere. According to the .gov fuel locator there are a whopping 3 stations in all of NYS that sell bio

No surprise at all and more to come. Most pollutive is a sliding scale because after they ban this then what’s the next most pollutive fuel, and they will ban that.

We have oil what is the need for bio. None.
The demonrats feel the time is right for the last push into total control of the population. World population, as what is left of free America, is the last group of people to have freedom; all the rest of the world are and have been under control and know nothing but their overlords tell them.

So if #4, #6 and residential fuel oils are banned, what will they do with them? They're part of the distillation refinery process. Do they plan on pumping them back into the ground?

What they should be doing is investigating in technology and instrumentation research to safely and efficiently burn the products. Years ago they were seen as a cheap byproduct to burn in stationary plants and merchant marine ships. So what will be their use if they're banned?

We use to burn bunker c shipboard. The stuff wouldn't flow at room temperature. We had to heat it to 250F to reduce viscosity and run it through the propulsion boilers. Unlike #2 diesel and gasoline it doesn't run fast if you breach a double bottle fuel tank.
