A search on AFDC web site for biodiesel stations found that the town of
Garner has a station for government use only. But that was the only one
within this area.

There have been some substantiated rumors of bio-diesel making a debut
in the Triangle in the next couple of years. On the news tonight, they
mentioned that several counties surrounding the Triangle are welcoming
queries about siting a soybean diesel plant. I think this would be
excellent for local farmers, the local job market, the environment, and
enlightened consumers who would like a viable alternative to petroleum.

What I'm hoping is that 100% BD will become available in the next few
years, rather than the more common B20 blends where only 20% is
biodiesel. If I had easy access to 100% biodiesel I would have strong
incentive to swap my gas burning car for a diesel burning car.
Supposedly this is already available in San Francisco and Reno. With
many former tobacco farmers in NC moving to soybeans, our state has a
clear opportunity to be a leader in renewable fuel technologies.
