Greetings,

It is very important that you fund BioFuel Oasis' proposed fueling
station in Berkeley.  They have been operating for over 3 years now
on a shoestring budget in what amounts to a storage locker on 4th
Street, and making it possible for them to take over an actual
"gas station" will give them visibility and allow faster fueling
for their ever-growing customer base.

A few important facts:

* BioFuel Oasis has a successful record of supplying biodiesel for
over 3 years and is the only place to buy biodiesel at a public
pump in the Bay Area. 

* The new location will make biodiesel much more accessible, not
only to the Bay Area, but to travelers on the busy I-80 corridor.


* BioFuel Oasis is a small, locally-owned and women-owned business
with the money staying in the state and local community.
 
* They strive to get biodiesel made as locally as possible from
recycled vegetable oil.  For the past year, all the biodiesel
they've sold has been made in California from recycled vegetable
oil.
 
* The use of biodiesel translates into lower carbon
dioxide/greenhouse gas emissions and lower particulates, which
means cleaner air and less global warming. 

Many thanks for your attention to this matter.
