To whom it may concern,

Thank you for offering grant money to fund biofuel projects in the
state of California.  As you know, biofuels will help reduce
pollution and greenhouse gasses, and also our dependence on
foreign oil.  

I would like to comment specifically on the Biofuel Oasis, in
Berkeley, CA.  The Oasis has been selling biodiesel for the past
three years, in a very confined space.  I am a Photovoltaic
Project Manager for Sun, Light and Power, Co, also in Berkeley. 
We have been running our fleet of diesel trucks on biodiesel also
for the past three years.  We currently have 10 trucks using
biodiesel; we use approximately 600  gallons per month.  This
usage of biodiesel obviously reduces the use of petroleum based
diesel, thus reducing carbon dioxide/greenhouse gas emissions and
particulates, which means cleaner air and less global warming. 

The Oasis' new proposed location is located on a corner very close
to the I-80 corridor, making it much more accessible for Bay Area
residents and those passing through to fill-up on non-petroleum
based fuel.  This sight will give biofuels much more visibilty to
a public who wants more choices when it comes to fueling up. 
Please consider the Biofuel Oasis and their grant application when
deciding on allocation of funds.  

Sincerely,
Roger Williams
