Minnesota becomes first US state to require biodiesel Wed Sep 28, 9:48 AM ET

Minnesota will from Thursday demand that all diesel fuel sold in the US state be partly distilled from soybeans in a bid to take a bite out of the nation's appetite for crude oil.

The northern state is the first in the United States to pass a law to promote biodiesel, fuel made from agricultural oils and fats, said Ralph Groschen, senior marketing specialist at the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.


When it comes to the environment, some of the northern states and California are banding together to become even more environmentally conscious.........ignoring Bush in the process. I think thanks to Bush and his regressive policies, some of the states are going to become more assertive about their rights under federalism. Its probably not a bad thing.
