Hi. I've recently done a massive amount of research into biofuel made from animal fat/tallow and I'm wondering what you feel about tallow fuel as a vegan?
Personally I was so horrified by it that I had to start organising a campaign against it, especially as the UK public have had no consultation about it and it's simply being rolled out into the public domain in buses, transport lorries, power stations, and in a year or so into the pumps.
I have a huge ethical dilemma about it and I'd love to know your opinions please... would you use a bus fuelled by tallow biodiesel? How do feel about the fact your electricity may already be coming as a result of tallow fuel used in the power station? Would you fill your car with it at the pumps?
In the future my fear and expectation is that as demand for biofuel grows farmers will be rearing fat cattle and pigs to go directly into rendering for fuel.
