Bio-Diesel or Bust: Harvest Your Own Fuel

Whoever controls energy, controls the people who need the energy. That dictum became even more apparent after Hurricane Katrina battered the gulf coast and that’s why the folks at Bio Liberty in Louisiana are taking energy into their own hands. Moonshine for the earth perhaps. All it takes is a little grease, potassium, methanol, wiring, lights, a few tanks, and some tubing. In this clip, Gordon Soderberg shows us how biofuel can change the way we live, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and provide jobs for Veterans of the US Military. Sound like the opposite of the Iraq war? Biodiesel, as Soderberg notes, doesn’t kill anybody. Doesn’t kill anybody to make it. Doesn’t kill anybody to use it.

Bio Liberty LLC teaches veterans, restaurant owners, and community organizations to recycle used cooking oil and turn it into bio diesel. They use the diesel to power their veteran owned green construction company. “This is a very real grassroots type of process that you can do to help make a difference,” says Steve Richter, a bio diesel engineer. Watch carefully and see how they do it.

Thanks to Mobile Broadcast News for this clip from Bio Liberty: Energy Is Freedom - the longer piece is here. This video premiered at the New Orleans Clean Cities Conference.
