Tom, I am extremely interested in helping you with such a project.
I know little about making biodiesel and the chemistry, and what I do know is bool-learnin' not real experience. I don't have the background of Keith or Todd, but I am passionate about biodiesel and its broader social and economic ramifications. My strengths are my research ability, a background in public policy with an environmental focus, and good writing and editing skills. I probably could contribute best writing about the legal, political, financial, and environmental aspects of biodiesel production. I have good contacts with producers, distributors, and other interested entities in the Pacific Northwest, and some sense of how to approach some of these topics as I have been researching this information with an eye to setting up a facility here in Washington State. If I can be of any assistance to you on this project, please let me know.
