Issue 159 - The Resolution
Presented Sept 15, 2009
The heating oil industry recommends and will encourage the Congress and appropriate state bodies to mandate the following changes for heating oil.
1. That by July 2010 of next year, all heating oil will be mixed with a bio component that meets the appropriate specifications to ensure that at least 2 percent of the fuel is renewable. That such levels shall increase over time as technical and economic feasibility permit.
2. That by July 2011, the petroleum base stock we now call heating oil will be transitioned by ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
3. That in the interest of lowering the carbon intensity of heating oil applications, that training will be provided to heating oil companies on thermal solar applications.
This resolution overwhelming passed by voice vote – only 3-4 people responded with a nay vote. (basically because their groups don’t like resolutions)
