What's more, biodiesel is becoming more affordable every day. The efforts of World Energy Alternatives (www.worldenergy.net) in Chelsea, Mass., have brought biodiesel costs down to half the price per gallon it was just two years ago. Compliance has never looked so bright for fleet owners, and they deserve to be informed of their options.
