- Biodiesel will reduce the incidence of respiratory sickness and death throughout California, saving thousands of lives and millions of dollars each year. Biodiesel will reduce smog and air pollution, helping make California a more attractive city in which to live and do business.
- Biodiesel will reduce California's dependence on foreign oil.
- Biodiesel in California fleets will stimulate our economy, bringing new jobs at both the factory and the farm, and a new, forward-thinking industry into our state. A biodiesel industry feasibility study conducted by California State Energy Research and Development Authority found that a 40 million gallon per year industry could create about 1,300 new jobs in California.
- Biodiesel could save the city millions in fleet replacement as it will and allow city vehicles to stay on the road longer and still be in compliance to the clean air act and other anti-pollution regulations.
- Throughout the world, governments are beginning to realize that in terms of pollution, health, and geo-political stability, petroleum is no longer the fuel of choice. Also, being a finite resource, petroleum oil will only become more expensive as it becomes more scarce. Biodiesel can help California become more energy independent.
- California can lead the way to a brighter future by transitioning to biodiesel today.
