Hello,

Great meeting- I think we can all agree last Tuesday night. I wanted to find out if those involved on the legislative side could get together for 2 hours and discuss next steps. It’s a lot easier sitting down together to come up with a game plan then doing it all on a blog.

Your thoughts.

As we build around our three topics coming out of the March 13 Biodiesel Roundtable, we are also looking forward in the short term to our various involvements with the various “Earth Day” type events happening now through end of April. One such is Congressmember Jane Harmon’s/Toyota Clean Energy Expo April 3. I have the sense that several of us have been contacted independently about attending. What is the possibility of us banding together for a task-group to present a strong voice and profile for biodiesel?

Chris,

I think that’s a great idea. We could be an “alliance” of biodiesel interests represented by the BCC, the LA Biodiesel Coop, business interests, etc. Of course I think one goal would be to talk in-person to Jane Harman.

We need to get ourselves out there- biodiesel is hardly mentioned in the press, biofuels is almost another word for Ethanol.

From Stephan… “… a Dutch committee will unveil stringent criteria for growing biofuels in ways that don’t damage the environment or release more greenhouse gases than they save…”
