THE TRUE COST OF OIL The True Cost of Oil Biodiesel Basics Biodiesel Myths and Facts We at Tri-State Biodiesel are commited to increasing the availability and usage of our locally produced, clean burning biodiesel fuel. By taking action to ensure that this renewable fuel is available throughout NYC, you can help ensure a sustainable future for all of us. THE GULF OIL SPILL The Gulf oil catastrophe throws into sharp relief the true cost of our country's oil addiction. No longer can industry apologists understate the risks and inevitable damage caused by oil exploration and exploitation. Safety regulations can only go so far; there will always be dangers associated with drilling at inaccessible locations. It is clear that the only answer is to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. STUDY: THE TRUE COST OF PERSIAN GULF OIL The chart above shows that the cumulative "hidden" cost of importing Persian Gulf oil comes out to a staggering $930 billion dollars a year, making the "real" cost of refined Persian Gulf oil the approximate equivalent of paying $27.07/gallon. By switching to usage of locally produced biodiesel fuel instead, these costs can be avoided, and we can slowly wean ourselves from the dinosaur of petroleum. WHY USE BIODIESEL IN NEW YORK CITY? Biodiesel will reduce the incidence of respiratory sickness and death throughout NYC, saving thousands of lives and millions of dollars each year. Biodiesel will reduce smog and air pollution, helping make New York City a more attractive city in which to live and do business. Biodiesel will reduce NYC's dependence on foreign oil. Biodiesel in NYC fleets will stimulate our economy, bringing new jobs at both the factory and the farm, and a new, forward-thinking industry into our city. A biodiesel industry feasibility study conducted by New York State Energy Research and Development Authority found that a 40 million gallon per year industry could create about 1,300 new jobs in NY State. Biodiesel could save the city millions in fleet replacement as it will and allow city vehicles to stay on the road longer and still be in compliance to the clean air act and other anti-pollution regulations. Biodiesel reduces reliance on infamous oil corporations like Exxon Mobile and BP. Throughout the world, governments are beginning to realize that in terms of pollution, health, and geo-political stability, petroleum is no longer the fuel of choice. Also, being a finite resource, petroleum oil will only become more expensive as it becomes more scarce. Biodiesel can help NYC become more energy independent. NYC can lead the way to a brighter future by transitioning to biodiesel. CLICK HERE TO MAKE THE SWITCH TODAY or FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED		Fed Up With The Oil Spill?
