A good friend who recently moved to New Zealand from Seattle just altered me to an interesting blog post about biofuels and how they may neutralize OPEC's pricing strength and give governments some relief from agricultural protectionism.

Propel Biofuels, a new biofuels retailer, opened its first "clean fueling point" in Seattle Washington today. Among those attending were Senator Maria Cantwell who expressed the importance of alternative energy and the efforts to make biodiesel more available and convenient to consumers.

It's little known that diesel vehicles are the perfect "flex fuel" vehicle. Unlike gasoline engines that need to have special features to enable them to burn different levels of an ethanol/gasoline mixture, diesel engines can burn any combination of petro-diesel and bio-diesel without modification. That means now!
