Real Goods, Hopland, Ca ---

This is one of my favorite places to get inspired about sustainable living, their whole store is practicing what they preach, passive solar heating, they have a large array of solar panels, straw bale construction, composting toilets, edible shade landscaping, biofuels, and lots of books and interesting stuff to buy. During the trip I read one of their books, "The Renewable Energy Handbook", by William H. Kemp. Really enjoying the book, but I will write him about his bias against SVO, I think he has not spend enough time researching this. He touts Biodiesel, but why not tout both..hopefully he will reconsider his bias on this subject and change the next edition.


Above is the pump at Real Goods, their pump was broken at the time, but they were selling B100 for about 3.50 a gallon.
They sell two biodiesel processors, the push button types, just add ingredients and click the start button, and 24 hours later 50 gallons of B100.

Their prices were 5-8 K.
