Living on biodiesel: truckers, Willie and satellite radio

The radio show Living on Earth did the biodiesel trucker circuit last week with a segment on the hundreds of trucker gas stations that sell B5 or B20. Carl's Corner obviously plays a big part in the story, but producer Shia Levitt also gets to talking about the National Biodiesel Board and the Bill Mack Show. Bill Mack is a country music DJ and relentless biodiesel promoter who often talks with Willie Nelson on Mack's four-hour daily show. Even with all this promotion, the biodiesel industry itself is estimating it'll produce and use one billion gallons a year by 2015. Sounds like a lot, but it's only 2.7 percent of the fuel the trucking industry uses in a year.
