Last Friday, I filled up on B100, which is 100% biodiesel. The local fueling station in Ft. Collins is Poudre Valley Co-Op, and they sell Rocky Mountain Biodiesel. It’s more expensive than petrod ($3/gallon vs $2.44), and the mileage and power are worse, but to me the other factors like less pollution and less dependence on the cesspool known as the Middle East are worth it.

So at this point, I am no longer directly using fossil fuels in my daily living, as 100% of my house’s energy needs are supplied by wind. Of course, this does not mean I can go get the Ed Begley Jr. car that runs on my own sense of self-importance, as I still need petrod for road trips, and pretty much everything else I consume is thanks to dead dinos (ie, food delivery, plastic, etc.).

Still, how else to improve our lives other than one step at a time?
