Biodiesel documentary


The biodiesel industry in Oregon has received enough attention in the last year that only hermits and people from Remote have never heard of it. Still, how many actually know how it's made?

"From Plow to Pump" is a documentary about the biodiesel product life cycle beginning with the cottonseed farmer who supplies the oil for the production process to the tractor trailer that is fueled with BioWillie biodiesel.

The program aired on January 12 on PBS and can be viewed at pbs.org along with an extended interview with Willie Nelson -- who I might add is an investor in SeQuential Biofuels, the first (and so far only) biodiesel production plant in Oregon.
