Town of Waterbury to Join the Biodiesel Bus w/ the Help of Green Mountain Coffee

Stowe may not be ready, but the town of Waterbury has announced that it will begin using biodiesel in some, if not all of its diesel vehicles. Waterbury plans to start using B20 biodiesel this spring in three of the town's trucks. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, located in Waterbury, runs all of its trucks on B20 and has agreed to allow the municipality to use their 10,000 gallon biodiesel tank, installed at their facility last fall, to fill their trucks. The switch will cost the town 1.7 cents more per gallon, but Waterbury's public works director says, it is a small price to pay. Neighboring Stowe has also considered making the switch, but states the economics simply are not right just yet. [Source: Stowe Reporter]
