If you look at the biodiesel availability map here: http://www.biodiesel.org/buyingbiodiesel/retailfuelingsites/ In the west it's availability is mostly a coastal phenomenon--from Santa Barbara to N California, Portland and then Seattle. These are progressive areas generally speaking. In fact I understand modern diesels--ie Tdi's and CRD's--aren't even sold in California, yet biodiesel is more available there than anywhere else in the west. My point was that even the conservative areas-like Utah--are realizing the benefits of biodiesel, but it's availability was clearly a progressive movement in the beginning. When the red states embrace alternative fuels, instead of seeing them as a personal virtue--to quote the Vice President--then they may have a real future. This may be happening which is good news to me. OK? Tom __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
