What's the sequel to Josh's "FUEL" and "America's Favorite Vegetable Oil Sports Car"?...
"The Slow and the Nefarious"? Watch "clubs" of bored American teens as they race diesel automatic Jettas and 300D's for pink slips (reaching blistering, dangerous speeds of up to 30mph, on freeway on-ramps). Then, they steal drums of old cooking oil from behind restaurants, to finance their crazed addiction to Pollak valves and fuel heaters. The climax is when the hero of the story triggers his steering-wheel-mounted PTT switch, activating the on-board sodium hydroxide/ethanol injector system, instantaneously injecting a stream of continuous process biodiesel into the already-thin SVO...for that extra .35 HP that wins the day! Vin (ZX348657WVW58767) Diesel stars in this high FFA, hard-smelling, slow-paced drama, along with a few nameless geeks and some gorgeous young females. Don't miss it! ;-) Edward Beggs www.biofuels.ca ---------- From: Bill Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > ******************************************* > 2. "FUEL" IS RELEASED > ******************************************* > > The year is 1973. The United States is crippled by an > oil crisis. Demand for fuel skyrockets while supplies > dwindle. Hank Prouge has an invention that could put > an end to dirty oil politics - forever. It's an engine that > runs on vegetable oil and it's in his red sports car.

THE VEGGIE CAR IS BORN > ******************************************* > > A cool breeze ripped through my hair, the whine of the > freshly rebuilt diesel engine filled my ears, and the faint > smell of french fries cycled through the cockpit. The > Veggie Car zipped past a few cows grazing next to a > windmill and hugged a corner at 65mph. Beneath me, > the vehicle felt like a rocket. No vibrations, no shakes. > Just power and forward motion.

Participants in > these workshops will make biodiesel fuel with locally > available materials and learn how to make a biodiesel > processor to make their own biodiesel. The first > workshop will take place from June 4th through June 7th > at the Max Farm just outside of Missoula, Montana. > The second workshop will take place from September > 9-13 at Guidestone Farm just outside Loveland, > Colorado. The cost of registration for either workshop > is $500.

BIODIESEL MEDIA CAMPAIGN BEGINS > ******************************************* > I recently did a one-hour radio interview on the > American Freedom Network with Bonnie Valentine. > The topic of conversation? You guessed it, biodiesel. > The phone lines filled up after about 15 minutes and > later that day, my inbox filled up with questions from > interested listeners. Getting back on the air again > reminded me of how much I enjoy doing radio > interviews, writing articles, and promoting biodiesel to > the general public. Starting in mid-February, I am going > to double my efforts to get biodiesel in as many radio > shows, newspapers, magazines, and TV shows as > possible.

BRAD PITT DENOUNCES FOREIGN OIL > ******************************************* > > From the World Entertainment News Network > > Eco-friendly Brad Pitt is urging President George W. > Bush to use the terrorist attacks of September 11th and > the subsequent war in the Middle East to push through > new environmental breakthroughs. Brad is appalled > that no politician is promoting oil alternatives - so > America no longer has to rely on imports from the > Middle East. Pitt says, "We keep going back into > the history of these extremists, these fundamentalists, > and understanding the Islamic culture, and > understanding foreign policy. We're embracing > religion, which is a beautiful thing to see, but the > thing no one is talking about is oil. Why don't we set > ourselves free? We have the technology for electric > cars, and we have other power sources. Yes, it would > be expensive to make the switch over, but we could, > and we would have complete autonomy from our need > for oil. We would not have to rape Alaska, and we > wouldn't have to be dependent on those guys over > there. In the long term, if we could free ourselves > from the dependency of oil, we'd be alright." > > > ******************************************* > 7.
