Those of you who will not support the bio-Diesel "unless it's cheaper"......just wait.....we will eventually have fuel shortages like in the early '70's......and I just wish that those who are supporters and users today will be allowed to jump ahead of you in bio-Diesel line when petro-Diesel is scarce.....and expensive......

I can't help on figuring out who proposed this. You can, however, read up on what PDX is doing sustainability-wise over at their task force's web page:
http://www.portlandonline.com/osd/index.cfm?a=bcfiad&c=ecied Interstingly, PDX is one of the few cities that have been convinced to create a peak-oil task force. My guess is that this was proposed from that group, probably as a first step.
With any luck, the bioD producers around here haven't simply linked the cost of their product to the cost of dinoD and it can fluctuate independently. If so, the precipitous price increase I expect to see eventually will convince people to semi-temporarily switch. Based on your OPEC info, it sounds like that price increase has been scheduled to coincide with this summer's annual price hike. And with the Alaskan pipeline down, perhaps we'll actually see diesel cheaper than gas around this locality this summer
not that that's saying anything good, though.
