Speculative stock opportunity...?

Albert, I would say yes. A lot of our oilfield equipment is currently using elements of bio-diesel and regular deisel with different additives.

There is actually a serious diesel shortage right now, diesel is actually higher priced than gasoline.

I have a tank they can come cultivate,or maybe I can get a job due to my vast algae growing experience

Bio diesel is an interesting idea,even the food/fuel issue can possibly be solved with a bit of ingenuity.The big problem I see is that in colder weather deposits solidify and it jells up,hence needing to add regular diesel.So you're still tied to the gas pump either way.Greg are they using any bio diesel with just additives or is it all mixed with regular diesel?Would be a big step if they have developed a cold weather additive.(Canadian cold weather as opposed to a California cold weather)

Right now it is a blend of bio and regular diesel. They have also been experimenting in Fort Nelson with some different cold weather additives as well that appear to be creating some cost savings.

Even at that though it is still easily 98% regular diesel to 2% organic bio/additives.
