Energy independence with help from biodiesel
Article Abstract:
Governor Christine Gregoire of Washington presented an 'energy independence' policy based on biofuels like biodiesel that build a market for crops such as canola. The basic step in the policy requires a minimum of two percent biodiesel in all diesel fuel sold in the state, while farmers get paid for growing canola seed for the use in making biodiesel.
