Rentech Inks Biofuel Deal with Eight LAX-Based Airlines for Their Ground Utility Vehicles

Dear Michael,
When you say, : " Unlike cars, utility trucks at an airport never stray far from home. Thus, a centralized biodiesel pump can serve them."

Rentech is making diesel, just diesel, the only difference is, it burns cleaner, that's why they call it "clean" diesel. The so called utility trucks can venture as far away from the airport as they like because they are diesel powered engines that currently burn "dirty" diesel. And in 2012 they will be burning Rentech's "clean" diesel - which will be stored in the same diesel tanks they have stored the "dirty" diesel.

Regarding South Africa; an interesting lesson that we should learn from, i.e. South Africa became independent of petroleum importation. Exactly, what the U.S. talks about, but does not do. The logical next step evolution is coal-to-diesel power generating plants which obviously is far environmentally cleaner than traditional coal-burning power plants and will still be the most economically feasible. The U.S. does have the largest known coal deposits in the world. Why should we use it? We can just keep buying from the Terrorists or run our cars, ships, trains & planes on wind and/or solar power.

Rentech Blows Away Estimates

I agree with Delbert's comments, i.e., Rentech & similar companies, such as Syntrolium should receive federal stimulus assistance to accelerate the U.S. separation and dependence from foreign oil while providing use of cleaner fuels.
