Biodiesel factory

"Two partners in a pair of home heating oil companies are hoping to open a facility on Sandbank Road that makes bio-fuel (NHR, by Luther Turmelle)... The facility would be on the grounds of Village Oil... (and) is expected to employ as many as two dozen people within two years after it begins operating."

Fantastic!

If this comes to fruition, this would help:

1) reduce our dependence on foreign oil,
2) protect the environment (drop emissions),
3) improve our health (via fewer emissions),
4) curb sprawl (somewhere in the US, if not in CT)
5) create jobs!

Cheshire and Connecticut could both win with something like this.
