Minnesota will require 2% bio in all diesel as soon as the oil plant is operating that is under construction - this will ratchet up to 5% over time. We already mandate 10% ethanol in all gas, the legislature is debating raising that to 20%. We also have quite a few wind farms on the Buffalo Ridge for electricity. The bean oil will help add lubricity to the fuel, which is being taken out with the low sulfur laws. Your percentages are just a tad off..... The btu is pretty close. The cost is relative - big oil gets a lot of subsidies and is a mature industry. Producing fuel from beans is a fairly new thing & needs to achive ecconomy of scale, efficiency, and so forth. It''s not like bio fuel will answer all our problems, but sure seems to be a good start. But, I feel sorry for states who stay in the backwaters on these issues, you will fall behind trying to save a few pennies now and put your head in the sand.... --->Paul
