Comment | I understand that BioFuel Oasis has applied for funding from CARB to support their proposed new biodiesel fueling facility and I would like to express my support for their grant application. I have purchased biodiesel from their current facility for around two years now and they have consistently impressed me as a well run, locally funded small business that is comitted to supplying high quality biodiesel using recycled vegetable oil. Biodiesel from recycled oil is an excellent way of reducing lower carbon dioxide gas emissions and also lowering the level of particulates and as such it I feel that it deserves far stronger promotion and support. The major challenge that the Bay Area faces is that it is far too hard for the potential purchases of biodiesel to find a source of supply. Whenever possible I personally speak to drivers of diesel vehicles about switching to biodiesel and the most frequent reason offered to me for not using it is simply that they cannot find a convenient fueling location. The proposal from BioFuel Oasis would create a much more convenient fueling location within relatively easy reach of the I-80 and open for most of the day. I urge you to support their application for funding. Robert Sharpe |
