Puerto Rico’s governor is studying alternatives to a natural gas pipeline proposal that has been widely opposed by islanders and environmentalists, the Associated Press reports.
A committee appointed by Gov. Luis Fortuño to find alternative energy sources has rejected part of the original proposal calling for a massive pipeline to bisect Puerto Rico. The committee late Friday instead offered three alternatives to move natural gas from storage facilities on the south coast to plants in the north in a push to minimize the U.S. territory’s oil dependence.
One alternative is to build a smaller pipeline along the island’s north coast.
Puerto Rico relies on petroleum to generate nearly 70 percent of its power, and electric bills are about twice as expensive as those on the U.S. mainland.

Nice post!
My suggestion would be the use flare ignitors, its Eco-friendly and much cheaper than the conventional way of starting a flare. The opposing of environmentalists should not be a problem when you propose this approach and significant money will be saved.
Could heavy duty engine oil be a good alternative for this? I’m not very familiar with it, but based from the readings I’ve made, this might actually work.
Alternative energy is simply great because it is mostly reneweable.-
