A carbon neutral big island?

[Tahunatics]

Ideally we should all be driving electric vehicles, however most of the electricity is generated with coal, natural gas, oil or even nuclear so it's not really clean unless you have your own photovoltaic array. The oil lobby killed the electric car and there is also the huge market for car parts and repairs which the electric car threatens. Follow the money.

Biodiesel is coming to the Big Island by Pacific Biodiesel very soon. It's the next best thing and can easily be grown here if we were to plant African Oil Palms. Biodiesel is clean, renewable, made in USA and no war required.

I have been talking with Pacific Biodiesel for several years and I received this recent email from Kelly King of Pacific Biodiesel in Maui;

Aloha Steve,

We are currently planning for the Big Island plant, working with the County on the used cooking oil and also a couple of potential feedstock growers. I have a presentation to do to a group of folks in Kona in early November, at which time I hope to be able to share more details. You can email Emily, kbaybb@aloha.net, to find out more about the presentation which we hope will include a screening of the documentary Revolution Green (check out http://www.revolutiongreen.com/).

I hope to see you in November!

Kelly
