The legendary Willie Nelson, widely known for his work as a musician, is now also becoming very widely known for his biodiesel production company, BioWillie. Willie displays not only his concern for the enviroment and renewable fuel sources, but also for the American farmers and their economic security. His interview with PBS is really just a small stepping stone considering the amount of national attention he’s recieving from not only farmers and enviromentalists, but also from the giant energy corporations.
“There’s other places in the world [that] have already made it happen, and you say, duh, why can’t we do it here?” Nelson tells NOW. “Anywhere things can be grown that you can turn into fuel, do it.”
