Too bad the Green Raw Deal attitude is pushing diesel producers to convert needed refining capacity from making diesel into making more expensive vegetable oil fuel.

I wouldn't call him Orange Mussolini if he weren't worse in some pretty important ways.
Beyond his grating personality, and Joe Biden's isn't much better, how was Trump worse in important ways? Serious question, no disrespect meant. The fact is Biden's policies have led to high fuel and food costs. For average Americans that's the bottom line.

I'm guessing you fellows are towners because you sure don't know much about renewables. Red farm states are pushing for renewables as it provides a market for corn and soybeans. Soybean oil is blended into diesel fuel much like ethanol is blended into gasoline. None of this happens at the oil refineries.

Biodiesel is not a green energy source and just promotes the continued use of fossil fuels which is one reason it is favored by Republicans from red farm states.

June 2020 was during the trump regime and Wyoming is a very red state.
