Not to get into another debate over energy but didn't the original article refer to USED Motor oil? And if this is the case wouldn't the amount of electricity needed to convert offset in potential savings? For what it's worth I burned waste oil in two buildings until I converted both to Geothermal it made since other than maintenance, the heat was relatively cheap.
