There's one gas station in La Jara, Co. that I've seen that sells the blue sun BD blend. I think the name is JR's. Other than that, nada. I'm not sure where they're getting their fuel.
I used to work for a farmer / us representative that was growing soybeans (?) for a BD plant that was supposed to start up in the San Luis Valley (near alamosa, CO.) Never heard anymore news about it after I moved, and the hoopla seems to have died off- but I'm out of the loop these days.
Just wondering outloud why farmers don't seem to be jumping at the chance to get in on the ground floor of (what seems to be) a growing opportunity at having a bit more 'reliable' income.
I guess that TOO much land devoted to production of BD crops could have a serious effect on already climbing food prices. But food is going up because diesel is so high. Takes alot of diesel to produce most crops. So with diesel at nearly 5 bucks, surely there's a growing demand (and profit margin) for farmer produced fuel, especially if they can in turn get cheaper fuel that they produce.
I now live in a oil, natural gas, and coal rich area that has an incredible economy that I make my living from, indirectly, but I also see first hand every morning what having huge coal fired generating plants and oil refineries can do to the air.
Oh yeah, first post.
Bio Diesel plants: where are they?
