Fox News Biodiesel Report Mentions Greens Opposition
Hi all, We just got our first mention on Fox News (national) on our opposition to the Darling International biodiesel plant. (Apparently the reason a local issue in SF actually got national attention is that it is Earth Day, and the subject is controversial.) The reporter said that many environmentalists were strongly opposed to the plant because its type of biodiesel production could do more harm than good to the environment, and raised concerns about genetically engineered animals being produced for fuels. The 'Green Party' and PETA were specifically named as opponents, and the report finished up stating that opponents intend to pass legislation to require that biodiesel production remain strictly local and run by nonprofits. There were no clips of either opponents or proponents speaking, but the reporter who generated the piece that he is working to get a longer report on later today. If you want to watch for repeats of the report, Fox news is on SF cable channel 59. I'll keep you posted on new developments. cheers Eric Brooks -- "I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist.
