This is the sort of thing we're working on. We call it "community scale" biodiesel. Local communities grow seed and crush oil (or make it from the local meat packing plant's tallow), and turn it into fuel for their own community. No transporting oil acros the world to refine it, then pipe it, then truck it in. It is all about keeping it local. And don't think Nevada can't benefit from this because of its climate. There is a seed crusher out in Lovelock who we are working with, and NV would be great for algae production with all the sunshine and open space.
