The Southern Energy and Environment Expo is being held at the Western N.C.
Agricultural Center in Fletcher, N.C. (near Asheville) on August 26th-28th.
The event focuses on environmental responsibility, renewable energy, and
sustainable economics. Admission is $7/day. Visit http://www.seeexpo.com
for more details.
Biodiesel fuel, a clean-burning, renewable, domestically produced alternative
to fossil diesel fuel, is scheduled to have a strong presence at the 2005
Southern Energy and Environment (SEE) Expo. Two of North Carolina's most
active and established grassroots biofuels co-operatives, Blue Ridge Biofuels
from Asheville and Piedmont Biofuels
from Pittsboro, are appearing on behalf of the fuel. The SEE Expo is a vibrant
regional gathering of individuals and groups concerned about the urgent and
important problem of energy dependence. Blue Ridge Biofuels, based in
Asheville, will be at the expo this year. Representatives from Blue Ridge will
be giving a presentation on local small-scale production, waste oil rendering,
co-operative structure, fundraising methods, legal considerations, regional
partnerships, local markets, and the current availability of biodiesel. Blue
Ridge Biofuels will be selling discount biodiesel onsite for $3.00 per gallon.
Their newly acquired 2,200 gallon biodiesel delivery truck will be there to
serve the needs of any diesel driving attendees. So, come fill up and drive
home feeling a little better about your planetary impact.
Lyle Estill, one of the co-founders of Piedmont Biofuels, is giving a free talk
entitled "Biofuels and the Regional Economy." He will explore the multiple
dangers of America's reliance on depletable imported fossil fuels, and explain
the role of biofuels and other alternative sources of energy in our energy
future. Leif Forer and Rachel Burton, the other co-founders of Piedmont
Biofuels, will be leading a four-hour workshop on biofuels production. The
workshop will serve as an introduction to the process of making a batch of
biodiesel fuel from vegetable oils, and will inform participants how they can
meet their own fuel needs.
