Hello Robert >Keith; >Let me say that you are doing a fine job on promoting Bio diesel, so don't >let anyone >put you down.
Thankyou! We do try. >Now to the point, we all would like to see a list of producers in the USA as >well as the whole world, it sounds like a big project but it could be done. >What information should be included in this list and do you want to list it >as it grows. >We here in southeast Minnesota have been producing for the last 3 years and >last year got to the point of making 150 gallons in each batch. This is just >for our own use at this time, stocking up for a rainy day you could say. >Keep up the good work. I'm not sure that I can Robert, we're as overstretched as all hell right now - 18/7 and we can't keep up. I'd no sooner posted that message (below) when I had second thoughts about it. Yes, I guess it could be done, but as you say, it's a big project. And we're 12,000 miles away, it's not that easy. And really, as I said, our main orientation is not to the US, important as it is. We're Third Worlders, that's our focus. I got a note from Martin, who runs the new list archives and much besides, here: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Info-Archive at NNYTech He'd be interested in setting up a page where people could register themselves as small biofuel producers - ethanol/biodiesel/etc, sorted by country/state. I said I thought it would be difficult to maintain, and I doubted that people would maintain it themselves. But I think that's the only way. Maybe I was being a bit too sceptical, in the circumstances. That's what Terry's done for the UK: www.ukbiodiesel.biz LINKS TO UK SUPPLIERS (by region) Any thoughts, anyone? It would be useful, eh? Even more useful if it included local workshops, local homebrewers' groups, even individual biofuellers, to help people form networks. But I think it'll have to be a group effort, D-I-Y. I'll try to help, others too I'm sure. Needs some discussion, those who'll do the work need some input and encouragement. I'll cc this to the Biofuel list, see what happens. Thanks again Robert.
