I ran into a guy who works for the owner of a large trap grease operator in the South - Ga. and area. His take was that there will be some effort on the part of the "big boys" to:
1. Push legislation that will make WVO a substance that will require certification and insurance to handle. This will expensive enough to drive off us little guys. 2. Rework existing contracts with restaurants to scare the owners and lock us out. 3. Require a "certified facility" to handle WVO. Some states already have some laws on the books but as I understand these are not too onerous. I already subscribe to one industry publication and am planning to join a few others to see if the above is true. I'm also thinking of attending a conference or so to take the pulse of the industry. In closing, 1. I hope that readers will keep an eye on state and federal WVO legislation and if something comes up, alert the gang. 2. If some or all of the above does come to pass I plan to try to raise enough money to start a WVO facility here in the DC (MD VA DE) area. 3. I have just started researching this - if anyone knows more I would like to hear! -Mike _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
