Politics: Biodiesel is a Winner

October 2, 2006 · No Comments

Supporters often point to the bipartisan nature of biodiesel politics. Good for blues, good for reds. I suppose that makes Propel solidly purple. Two WA incumbent candidates, both in tough races, made appearances at Propel retail grand openings- and you betcha, they both won reelection.

Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell has been a long time supporter of biodiesel and Propel. Maria held a press conference at our first retail outlet announcing legislation supporting biodiesel additions to the 2005 Energy Bill.

Congressman Dave Reichert, Republican from WA 8th district (eastern suburban district of Seattle metro region), and past King County Sheriff (his team solved the most notorious serial killer case in history- the Green River Killer). Dave joined us at the grand opening of our Issaquah Grange location.

Congratulations to both. And a message to aspiring politicians: Biodiesel is good for you.
