Folks who live near the Rockies might be sad that their trees have a habit of dying, but that doesn’t mean that they can turn them into something useful. That’s right, people in the Rockie mountain area have been turning the remains of dead trees into clean, environmentally friendly bio-diesel. Now this is sorta like an old dog new tricks kinda deal. You see bio-diesel has been around for over 20 years. But the people of Colorado have only been making their version of the product for only a year now.
In fact the product has even caught the eye of the Toledo energy company, who wants to turn all the dead trees in the area into bio diesel. Now there is a silver lining to this, it would be pretty cool getting rid of all those dead trees, plus they are being used wisely. But the only problem with this is the fact that it would take more energy to use this process then just pumping oil out of the ground. So until a more efficient way comes forth, we could be pumping oil for a long time.
