Biodiesel Success Story

A friend of mine recently passed along information on a sustainably run farm in Napa Valley that now uses biodiesel in their farm machinery. Click here for the story.

With oil now closing in on $70 a barrel we had better start cutting over to this stuff. This should of course be in addition to cutting consumption where possible since resources are required to produce biodiesel. Better for the environment and reduced dependency on imports has my vote every time. Other concerns may be turmoil and terrorism in the Middle East, Venezula inking an oil deal with China, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes from global warming (today many prayers are in the air for New Orleans), etc.

There are now even hybrid diesel vehicles coming to market. Here is one story on such Dodge Rams. Imagine using biodiesel in such a hybrid! Lets get our production of biodiesel going and we will have a whole new industry growing up in the U.S.A. Fantastic for the local economy!

A better world is possible.

Peace,
