Biodiesel mandate suspended
I know we are going to see the Republican jump all over this one since they demand that we sell out our country to the Big Oil companies. For those of you that had not heard, the Minnesota biodiesel mandate because there was clogging happening to some trucks using the biodiesel. As everyone knows there is nothing about biodiesel that should cause such a thing to happen at the B2 level. After some research the problem is related to glycerin levels in the biodiesel from soybeans, but the State is suggesting it may be related to certain processing techniques used to make the biodiesel. Either way they've isolated the problem and are working around it. It's an interesting development in the move away our deadly dependence on foreign oil. There is a 21 day suspension in place and during that time the state will make the arrangements to bad fuel out of the system. Now I know you Republican scream at the top of your lungs that this is a prefect example of why there should be no technological innovation or progress attempted. And to you morons I say, stuff it. We are going to make forward progress in America in spite of you morons.
