Where is there a biodiesel garage? And is it the answer?

There is a ready supply of 100% biodiesel right here in Stroud. It is, at present, only crop biodiesel imported from Scandinavia but Adrian Lawton, who produces it, has recycled chip oil in the past and might do it again, with adequate support. For more info and where else you can get biodiesel see the Pure Biodiesel Community website at www.purebiodiesel.co.uk

If you have to drive this is a better option - although at the moment it is slightly more complicated than a BP forecourtin Stroud as you will need to get keys organised and serve yourself. See the website for more details.

But while biodiesel is still a better option we should be wary about seeing it as an answer to climate change or Peak Oil - to see more read the article 'Biofuels - Climate curse or cure?'. This shows how we cannot expect the answer to lie in biofuels - we need the land for food - all the more important with population increases and climate changes effecting existing crops - we do not want to see even more of a world where the rich can still drive there 4x4s and the poor starve.
