By this time next year, the start of a potentially new era in home heating – one with some extra green – will be well underway here.
Washington will have joined Minnesota as the second state in the country that mandates the use of renewable biofuels. Many of the state’s home heating oil companies are welcoming the mandate, which takes effect Dec. 1 this year. They say it will focus consumer attention on biodiesel as an alternative to standard home heating oil. The latter is a 100% petroleum-based product.
