The unrestrained exploitation of natural resources is merely a symptom of an overall sickness of the human spirit. Any solutions to the environment/development crisis must, therefore, be rooted in an approach which fosters spiritual balance and harmony within the individual, between individuals, and with the environment as a whole.

Eco Transport Advice for Marin and the Bay Area.
Initially our interest was simply to create a local (Marin) supply of Biodiesel so that we could run our 1985 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbo on a renewal, non-polluting and "No War required" fuel. Lucky for us as our own plans dragged on, Lance and Campbell were able to get a tanks installed and created LC Biofuels:

With a local supplier available we happily left the fray, but since we already had this web site, and enjoy the conversations it leads us to we decided to maintain it.
So now we provide free, friendly, advice for those who are interested in using alternative energies but are at a loss to know were to begin.
Having no financial interest in a particular producer or supplier, we stand ready to help you negotiate this new landscape, finding you the information you need to make your decisions.
We are friendly and approachable. Bryn is a Librarian by profession, Sherna is a professional writer and are both deeply committed to the environment.
Confused about Biodiesel, Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO), B100, B99, B20, B5? And what about EV? - This is where I think we should be headed - see my blog
Contact us and we will work with you to help you understand this new path to the future. It is not the answer to the worlds ills - just one of many that will contribute to a sustainable world along with a sensible public transportation policy, and a move away from the rampant individualistic materialism that is destroying the world.

Santa Rosa Junior Colleges' first ever class on Electric Vehicle Conversion ran from August to Dec 2008. I took the class in an effort to better understand the possibilities. You can read the archives at:
DET -193: EV CONVERSION CLASS BLOG
(See photos of the SECOND EV Conversion class of 2009)
The class was taught by Peter Oliver of Make Mine Electric. The US may be trading it's reliance on foriegn oil for reliance on foreign made batteries, unless the Dec 18, '08 article in the Wall Street Journal reporting on plans for a US battery consortium become real.
Peter also gave a 5 day intensive EV Conversoin course at the Solar Living Institute, Santa Rosa, Oct 20 to 24
