Subject | Grant for Berkeley's Biofuel Oasis |
Comment | Dear CARB: It is important to me and to the people of California that CARB funds the BioFuel Oasis biodiesel fueling station in Berkeley. I have two biodiesel cars and have been fueling from the Oasis for two years now. 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. Biofuel Oasis strives to get biodiesel made as locally as possible from recycled vegetable oil. For the past year, all the biodiesel we'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. Between my two diesel cars I drive about 20,000 miles a year, utilizing 1,000 gallons of biodiesel. Please approve this tremndously important grant for Biofuel Oasis. Convenience and efficiency is the key to getting more Californians using alternative and renewable energy. It is important to me, and to our environment. sincerely, Andrea Tiller |
