News from the Atlanta Biofuels Fair - Fernbank Science Center - 3/11/2006 The Veggie Ranger was on exhibit Saturday at the Atlanta Biofuels Fair at Fernbank Science Center in Atlanta, Georgia. What a great gathering! There were a dozen vehicles there running either Straight Vegetable Oil or Biodiesel.

I was encouraged to see this since it was clear that these were not random visitors that showed up at Fernbank and fournd the fair. They came specifically for the fair hoping to learn more about biofuels!

This was a multi-week workshop and culminated in this fair. It was the best turnout of any biofuel event I have attended!

Most people assumed that you have to convert the car to run on Biodiesel. Most people left with a clearer understanding of the ease of running a diesel engine on biodiesel.

Most attendees had notebooks and pens for taking notes while asking questions. My hats off to the high schoolers that organized this show and put on a great biofuel fair for Fernbank Science Center! I can't wait until next year... -VR
