I just came home tonight after filling up our Moncure, Pittsboro, and Raleigh locations.  Each one of them had run out of fuel.

Saturday night I found myself on the other side of the creek, where Andrew was cleaning a bucket of ginkgo nuts.

Awhile back I was approached by a local writer about the possibility of using the Plant kitchen as a space for her writer’s group.

Like everyone else in community scale biodiesel, Piedmont is powering its plant with scraps of fat.

I have no idea how many times I have explored fuel pricing in Energy Blog.  But I am coming up on 1000 posts, so I am going to guess I have discussed pricing 36 times.  Possibly more.

I have to say I was astonished by the activity at the plant last Saturday.

About a month ago Rachel and I revisited the organization chart and inserted us into “Production.”

Two years ago we embarked on a bold idea.  We wanted to demonstrate how we could make clean  solar electricity and grow sustainable food at the same time.

Last Friday was a big shipping day for us.  We had 18 wheelers backing up on one another.

Monday I wiled away my time at a “Grassroots Economy” conversation in Durham.  There were a lot of heavy hitters there.  Which made for “heavy” conversation.
