Dear Biodiesel Colleagues,
Nearly 50 were in attendance at this morning's meeting of the Wisconsin Biodiesel Association. It was an informative session including presentations focused upon "Wisconsin Biodiesel: Growing a Renewable Energy Industry."
The challenges that confront the biodiesel industry in Wisconsin were explored. Production and distribution of biodiesel, feedstock issues, and market development within the state were examined. John Wilson, lobbyist from Michael Best & Friedrich, talked about the items included in the legislative initiative that has been advanced by WBA, along with an explanation of the way in which passage of these budget items will address the concerns outlined.
It's now "crunch time" in the State Budget process. I have attached a WBA Legislative Action Alert that explains how you can most effectively contact your state legislator and the Governor's office to encourage their support for the biodiesel industry initiative in this budget. I encourage you to do so this week as budget deliberations in the Legislature's Joint Conference Committee show promise of soon coming to a close.
As always, thank you in advance for your efforts on behalf of Wisconsin's biodiesel industry and in support of creating "HomeGrown Fuel for a Better Wisconsin." You can access additional information about WBA via our website (www.wibiodiesel.org). Meanwhile, please feel welcome to contact me or any member of the WBA Board of Directors with any questions.
With My Regards,
Jeff Pieterick
