The Austin Chronicle article mentioned Willie Nelson as a proponent of
biodiesel. He even sells it, at his "BioWillie" fuel station. He's come a
long way from the time his wife first told him about it. "I thought she'd
been in my stash a little bit". One of his buses that runs on the fuel now
has a sticker "No War Required".
