First, Willy is Willy Nelson the singer who has a truck stop and sells
biowilly. Your reasoning comes straight out of the save our planet books.
You can check out the Scientific books and you can ask the oil companies.
The Oil companies say we haven't even tapped most of our fields yet. And
that's maily due to the tree hunggers. Congress is now looking at offshore
fields that many have no drilling assigned to them. And if ANWR is opened
then there's more years added to the life of oil. BP has just struck one of
the largest oil fields in the world with it's off shore deep drilling
platform in the gulf odf mexico. So if you really look at the worlds oil
suppies it's not as bleak as the green people want you to believe.

Now here's another point where the green have stepped in and made a law that
is going to be proven it's a bad law. Minnesota now requiers that all
diesel be blended with 2% bio-diesel that's sold in the state. So what that
really means is the refiners now have an extra product they must blend into
their own product. So they have to buy the product since bio-diesel does not
come with the crude. Now they have to install the calibration equipment and
the injecting system to meet the state law. Where do you think those extra
cost are going to go?

Sure you're saving 2% on every gallon but it's only hurting ourselves by
higher prices. What the speach should be on is reducing the use. Have a
campaign to stop idling trucks. Have trucks stops where the truck can plug
in AC power and pay for it's usage. See there are other ways the books don't
talk about. Go out to a truck stop and ask, those drivers will tell you. The
very last thing they want to see is the price of diesel go up for some
bull*** reason like bio-diesel.
