Looking all over the southern side of Texas for cheap land.

Tried partnering up with land owner's. Not much interest there, unfortunately.

Tried talking to the city manager of corpus christi, scheduled a meeting, which he ducked out of, waited an hour and 20 minutes only to find out he'd skipped out somewhere. Left a decently put together business plan for him to read at his leisure, havent heard a word back from the city at this point.

Guess I have to concede they have no interest at all.

You'd think with the depressed economy, housing starts in the dumps, that the prices of land would be coming down? nope, still over 10K per acre in places i wouldnt pay 10 bucks an acre for.

I'll keep looking, getting so bummed about it though HA!

I read in biodiesel magazine the other day that Valero was closing 2 refineries up north since there is a shortage of available oil to process into fuel. And that the ME isnt going to increase output to help drive up the prices. Also that consumers couldnt stand much of a fuel price increase since the economy is still in the dumps.

you'd think with all of that going on, that someone would take a gamble or more of a gamble on biodiesel. there's even less interest than before.

More airlines are testing biofuel blends, everything seems to be pointing toward a greener choice (at least to me) and the public interest in it is dismal.

another oil crunch of the 70's is about what it would take to wake most people up i suppose.

hate to see it happen though. kind of funny watching 8 out of 10 vehicles pass by and its a huge honking SUV with 1 person in it, speeding, getting 7MPG (joke).
