Rushmore X is starting off with a positive reputation.
Like it though... Gun control means using both hands.

Same problem over here in Houston area, most schools are mandated to remove the fryers by the first of next year. Some high schools will have a small amount, but not much.

It's getting tight over here. I was even willing to purchase the oil from one of the larger collectors, but they're wanting $1.50/gal for raw, non-filtered WVO !!

Methanol has come down, so my production cost is running around $1.05/gal with free oil. Dino diesel is going for about $2.50/gal around here, so if I purchase oil I don't want to pay much for it.

yep. Griffin wants $3 /gallon for the WVO but you have to buy a full load at a time (22k gallons???).

I really want to keep making bio but time has been short these days and with diesel being ~$2.50, I think I am just going to stock wvo for a while. I'll make what I can with this last barrel of methanol, and then wait it out.

It was only a matter of time before this happened, so it really isn't a surprise.

The oil algae technology seems more and more promising every day, hopefully we can buy personal production kits one day...
