All 1,500 San Francisco city-owned diesel vehicles ready to run on biodiesel
We told you San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order in May 2006 calling for all diesel-powered city-owned vehicles to run on biodiesel by the end of 2007 and we told you recently it was almost complete. With a month to spare, this week the administration announced the goal has been accomplished: San Francisco's city-owned fire engines, ambulances, street sweepers and buses all run on biodiesel. Who knew San Francisco was such a liberal place? (I kid) Congrats San Fran!

I hope the folks in SF actaully did a pilot study before committing everyone to another "great" idea. If they "discover" problems later on, it could get expensive $$$$$$$$.
But, the Mayor is not spending his own money, sowhat the heck!
