Interesting. I'd heard some rumblings that he was going to try it on again with diesel. Last time he mentioned diesel he rapidly bit his tongue off when it brought him instant attack by the diesel-bashing lobby. We thought at the time that what was missing from his thinking was biodiesel. If he'd had that on board he might have been able to defend himself instead of withdrawing it or pretending he'd never said it or whatever. Do a search for "Kerry" in the archives. http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?list=biofuel
World Energy, hm? LOL! Well, good for them. If it were a Big Oil company instead of Big Biodiesel, such a direct naming would have people asking questions. Let's hope the biodiesel industry can keep its fingers clean. The ethanol industry is already besmirched, charged with rigging prices, I think it was. Also in the archives somewhere. Industry lobbying reaches people at this level, campaigning by biodieselers is at least as effective in reaching the general public. Why I said earlier the two should be complementary. Anyway, this is another sign that the anti-diesel lobby in the US is losing ground. there have been several such signs, following various developments I suppose they'd regard as setbacks, such as Alan Lloyd of CARB recently backing diesel. Thankyou Andrew. Biodiesel doesn't seem to have made it into the mainstream news coverage of Kerry's speech, yet. How's the business plan group going?
