[Biofuel] Biodiesel story from Madison, Wisconsin
Greetings to my brothers and sisters in the noble biodiesel movement! I thought you might like to see this story that our local news did on me and my obsession with BD. You might get a kick out of it... I'm kind of a dork. Here's the link.

Re: [Biofuel] Robertson et al VS. followers
Hello Cliff, >I am a former officer in the USAF so perhaps I do have a fondness for >the fine, exceedingly capable and patriotic men and women serving >to protect and defend a country I personally feel is a pretty good >place to live. Perhaps I am living under some delusions and if that is >the case then I'm sure someone will try to correct the errors of my >ways. Just a quick point or two from another who is also looking for the path... The USA is, in fact, "a pretty good place to live," but it is far from an innocent victim, as many who live here choose to believe. The historical sortcomings of this county deserve much closer scrutiny if you hope to live an enlightened life as a modern US citizen. May I suggest a book? Howard Zinn's masterpiece "A People's History of of the United States" should be required reading for all US citizens (even a naturalized citizen like me!); it will help shine an honest light on the historical behavior of our country, to the contrary of much that we read in our shool history books. After that, perhaps, a brief foray into Noam Chomsky can really put a point on the very recent history of US hegemony and covert interventionism (Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, etc.) particularly in the name of battling communism and terrorism... or as GHW Bush put it, "defending the non-negotiable American lifestyle." Thanks for listening to my two cents worth... Oh, and thank you for your service to our country. May those exceedingly capable men and women of which you speak be brought home to focus that energy on more constructive pursuits! Be well, Sean Michael Dargan Madison, WI P.S. I, too, hope to hear more about titration before long!

[Biofuel] Thank you JtF, for continued excellence!
In the four short months that I've been reading and learning from the Biofuels listserv, I have come to value greatly the breadth and depth of knowledge of its members, not to mention its moderator. For this I thank you all. I just successfully completed my first test batch, have begun gathering bits with which to build my processor, and I stand quite bouyed with the promise of a home-brewed, non-petrol future for my beloved Volkswagen. Cheers to you, JtF! Sean Michael Dargan Singer/Songwriter/Biodieseler Madison, Wisconsin P.S. In the interest of plumbing multiple sources for my new-found biodiesel obsession... er, I mean interest... I ordered a certain popular book and "how to" video from an another BD site, just to check it out. Heavens to Mergatroid! I'm sure it's been covered before at *great* lengths, but what a nightmare is that video! I gather that the chap behind that outfit must be VERY good at the marketing part, because he certainly missed the bus on the acting part. And the savvy communicating part... and the chemistry...

Re: [Biofuel] Re: ENRON documentary
Hey Mike, Check out the new documentary "ENRON: The Smartest Guys in the Room" by Alex Gibney. It does a super job of encapsulating the sordid details of ENRON's seedy rise and fall, including the specifics about the megalomaniacal highwaymen who engineered it. More details at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413845/ Not quite as excellent at "The Corporation" by Jennifer Abbot and Mark Achbar (which will leave you nauseated, it's so thorough and illuminating) but pretty damn good!
