News L.A. Times profiles Atlanta's alt-fuel hero
Posted by Mara Shalhoup on Tue, Oct 9, 2007 at 7:45 PM
In case you missed it, the L.A. Times published a lengthy profile last week on Rob Del Bueno, Atlanta's only indie-rocker-turned-biodiesel-purveyor.
The story focuses in part on how Del Bueno's past experience as a member of the "sci-fi surf rock band" Man or Astro-man? plays into his biodiesel ambitions:
The emerging world of boutique biodiesel can seem oddly familiar to a veteran of the indie rock scene. There is the fight-the-big-guys storyline, the sense of mission, the fetishization of locally made product.
Of course, I'm partial to CL's 2003 cover story about Del Bueno. But the Times does a good job of updating the story. Del Bueno's made a good bit of headway over the past few years in his mission to bring biodiesel to the mainstream.
For info on how and where to purchase Del Bueno's biodiesel, which can be used in any diesel vehicle without modification, visit the site of his nonprofit Refuel Biodiesel.
