Hi Barry

Nice folks, doing good work.

Yet there's great interest in it there. At least 80 members of this
group are from Oz. Australia runs second in visits to our biofuels
pages at Journey to Forever, after the US and before Canada and the
UK. You guys ought to start putting some pressure on your media
maybe. And on public opinion too. It's easy to promote biodiesel,
especially when it's made from waste oil. It catches the imagination.

I'm 10,000 miles away from him, but I just felt Terry wince in the
UK! He's led a long fight there to get a highly unreasonable tax
reduced, and recently succeeded. I guess gummints just aren't very
bright. Or maybe just not as bright as they're greedy.
