 [  Transportation and home-heating are major energy users.  Alternatives to the conventional petroleum-based vehicles and heating systems are urgently needed.  An important class of alternative fuels is Biofuels.

     What are the available bio-fuels ?  What is Biodiesel ?  How can biofuels be used for vehicles ?  And for home heating ?  What are the advantages of using BioDiesel, and BioFuels in general ?  How does a biodiesel-powered vehicle work, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles ?   How can one obtain biodiesel ? How can vegetable oil be converted to BioDiesel ?

     Rich Reilly's demonstration of a Biodiesel Processor (which converts vegetable Oil to BioDiesel) and discussion will address such questions.   The  presentation and demonstration will be followed by an open discussion.   Those attending are invited to bring in their questions and ideas, and information about any BioFuel systems they know of. ]
