Biodiesel shows us the way for US innovation
Ok, I said I would take the Biodiesel thread over to B100fuel.com, but this one is just too good. Where was Apple computer started? HP? Amazon? A garage. How many tech start-ups today are in the garage? You get where this is going.
In the garage today are crazies with a passion. There are quite a few of them messing around with making their own fuels. Bio Lyle's Biodiesel Worskshop is a great example. You must watch the video! Check out the guy's garage. He REALLY makes the stuff from used cooking oil he slurps out of 55 gallon bins behind the chinese restraunt. With a little weekend elbo grease Bio Lyle is able to drive his car all week for free. This is the spirit of innovation that got us here. This is the spirit of innovation that will get us to the next stage. It seems that some of that spirit has been lost to software and tech entrepreneurs these days. Come on, go out to your garage!
