Los Biodiesel
Supposedly there’s a biodiesel co-op in Los Angeles…I found their site, printed out the forms to join, this all in preparation for spending time there, and I have NO idea where to get biodiesel (other than from this co-op). I’m told it’s difficult… The one bummer is that the initial fee to join is sort of high. I haven’t done all the research yet, but I’m hoping that there are more options than I know about right now. Just heard about this self-organizing group called “Green Drinks” – sort of a forum for interested people to get together over a beer and talk about alternative energy, so maybe an LA chapter will have more biodiesel suggestions. EnergyRush contacts assure me that I can at least fill up in Berkeley — and with the mileage my car gets, that will take me to Los Angeles probably pretty easily (provided there’s not a whole lot of idling in grapevine traffic). Maybe I’ll be forced to live my dream and just make my own damn processor, which wouldn’t be so bad anyway. And the other good thing: no worries about freezing temperatures and solid fuel in LALA land.
