Around here everyone gets payed for their WVO. I have a friend with a thai restarunt that gives me about 5 gallons a week, thats all he makes.

TheDon, if you wern't so far away, I would love to meet-up with you sometime and talk.

Only so much of it can be produced (although the fact that it IS renewable certainly is a step ahead). And if enough people demand it, someone is going to figure out a way to make a fortune off of it. That's just how capitalism works. Personally, I love capitalism, and stock-wise I see a lot of potential in alt. energy and the companies that are exploring it. But I could see where some of the original biodieselers and WVOers would be POed if big business came in and made it hard (and/or expensive) to do what you do.

What do I know, I still use stinky, pollutin', regular ol' diesel.

everyone? what do we use like 40 billion gallons a year? wvo is 100 million? so even less than 1/40 of the pop would drive the sources extinct to find.
