Grease Cars On Air America



i just heard an ad on air america about recycling vegetable oil for diesel cars.

i think the average citizen is thinking more about our economic dependence on the middle east. i wish i saw more initiative on the part of our elected officials to spearhead a concerted effort to transition to a renewable energy economy.

judging from the increasing media coverage of alternatives to fossil fuels and the fact that every tenth discussion about the economy touches on the problem of developing cheap renewable fuels, people are ready for action.

what's fantastic about alternative fuel is that there's something for everybody. it makes environmentalists happy. one can sell it to the business community as a way to reduce waste management costs. the rich should be happy because a successful market in renewable fuels represents one of the greatest investment opportunities of the new century. it would also reduce the risk of terrorists attacks as well as the potential impact of successful attacks.

renewable fuels: good for the environment, good for business, and good for national security.
