Default Re: Yea Fred, let's collaborate on a HOTSHEET.

So I was just seeing this on Discover Travel & Living channel - India - on a show called "Extreme."

The show talked about America's first biofuel gas station. It was off the highway at Eugene, Oregon (isn't that somewhere near where Don Alm lives? Maybe he can get more details...)

The gas station made biodiesel out of used cooking oil. Fast food restaurants who throw away the oil after using it, give it away to the gas station now instead. The gas station then refines and converts it into biodiesel and sells it.

Gas price seemed decent - but because they didn't mention the date of the show, I couldn't find out if it was competitive than regular fuel, or if it was more expensive.

But fossil fuel alternatives are already here - making headway into the mainstream.
