Oregon State Leading Bio Fuels Myth

There is a myth that the State of Oregon is on the leading edge of Alternative Fuels (AF) production and sales. The fact is that currently there is only a single Biodiesel production plant in the sate, one under construction and two Ethanol production plants. While there are less than 50 places to purchase both.

We contend that if Oregon really were on the leading edge then we would have 20 production plants and 200 places to purchase the stuff.

What we do have is a lot of otherwise, until they were elected, bright legislature types that are the next best thing to a dead boat anchor. See our research below.

Biodiesel Production Plants Under Construction or Expansion http://www.nbb.org/buyingbiodiesel/producers_marketers/ProducersMap-Construction.pdf

There are no, zero, none, zilch BQ-9000 Accredited Producers in Oregon state at his time.

Biodiesel Production: 105 Plants producing biodisel now with new Construction 77 and Expansion 8. Oregon's total is two, one of each.

Ethanol Production: are listed here http://www.ethanolrfa.org/industry/locations/ Notice Oregon only currently produces 108 million gallons a year. However are only three service stations in Oregon to purchase it at. http://afdcmap2.nrel.gov/locator/FindNearResult.asp
While there are 40 stations to purchase Biodiesel from.
Far less that the states that are actually on the leading edge, like Illinois or Minnesota, or Texas for instance. http://afdcmap2.nrel.gov/locator/FindNearResult.asp.

That is how we see it.
