On The Road Again
Guest Post by Man of American Dissent
While LGND is on the road for one more day (eager to return civilization and its' wi-fi hotspots, fabulous coffee etc.), I think it's worth noting that we're seeing an inversion in fuel prices here in the Pacific Northwest. One gallon of biodiesel (produced from Washington State grown soybeans) is going for $3.11 while an equivalent measure of petro diesel is commanding up to $3.65 in "this part of the world". It's very encouraging to see a hippiefreak/alternative/boutique/clean/renewable/domestic/no war required energy source in an economically competitive (if not downright advantageous) position. Hopefully this is not just a temporary condition. The more we can encourage and implement alternative energy usage the more cost effective and sustainable the technologies and businesses around it will be.

Sorry to object, but I don't think there are Washington grown soybeans. Our climate isn't conducive
Biodiesel can be made from the oil of a variety of plants. Canola, mustard, and rapeseed oil can all be used and I believe they are all grown in Washington State.
