Quote:
It is important for me to drive a vehicle that will have a
greatly reduced impact on the environment.
Bio-diesel is good on several levels:
- Minimizes
my consumption of non-renewable petroleum
- Allows
me to operate with fuel based on a “waste” product
- Minimizes
impact on air quality issues
- Based
on readily available technology
Biodiesel
can be a part of the energy solution.
For me, it is the right thing to do. |

"Biodiesel is a solution that works
today, I believe you have to demonstrate sustainable solutions not just
talk about them. I love telling people my car has only seen a few
gallons of petrol diesel since March of 2003, but has not hampered any
of my travel plans." Biodiesel is not the "total"
solution to our oil addiction, but is an important part of the solution
for our country to become energy independent. |

Quote: Higgs started using
biodiesel in an old oil boiler that he connected to his
solar home heating system. With some
modifications to the nozzle (which preheated the
biodiesel) the boiler worked well. Higgs hopes to heat using
only WVO this winter. Higgs also supplies the coop with Higgsbier.

proving that there is a cleaner burning fuel that works right
now and reduces our dependency on foreign oil. To me it
just makes sense.

Quote:
The cars we drive have a negative
impact on air quality. Biodiesel has lower emissions that
petroleum-diesel. Biodiesel isn’t a cure-all, but it is a step in the
right direction. We are a society of consumers and are highly dependent
on fossil fuels. This is a concern for national security. I
recently saw a coffee mug that said “Biodiesel...No War Required”.
