Minnesota will require 2% bio in all diesel as
soon as the oil plant is operating that is under
construction - this will ratchet up to 5% over
time. We already mandate 10% ethanol in all
gas, the legislature is debating raising that to
20%. We also have quite a few wind farms on
the Buffalo Ridge for electricity. The bean oil will help add lubricity to the fuel,
which is being taken out with the low sulfur
laws. Your percentages are just a tad off..... The btu
is pretty close. The cost is relative - big oil gets
a lot of subsidies and is a mature industry.
Producing fuel from beans is a fairly new thing

efficiency, and so forth. It''s not like bio fuel will answer all our
problems, but sure seems to be a good start.
But, I feel sorry for states who stay in the
backwaters on these issues, you will fall
behind trying to save a few pennies now and
put your head in the sand.... --->Paul
