Based on recent media & Senate activities. It is obvious that Biodiesel Groups and all Renewables Groups NEED to band together to work for the greater good of acceptance and growth of Renewables Fuels.
It is no longer appropriate to remain on the sidelines as a splinter group and promote the benefits of a biofuel. There is a growing industry awareness that the Treasury's (disguised as the Senate) recent decapitation of Biodiesel subsidies is just the beginning, and the Treasury is determined to mine as much tax money from Renewables as possible. Shortsightedness is not the unique to the Treasury, as Labor demonstrated in the vote. Both the recent Landline segment on Renewables & 4-Corners piece on Oil Peaking, have clearly indicated the incongruent & contradictory messages from Government.
With unity, the various Biofuel groups can insure that the media's igniting the fire does not slip into the basket of yesterday's smoldering news. In short, the individual groups of the regions must band together into a larger community where the Australian Biodiesel Users Group will become a tender and keep the issues aflame, a beacon on the horizon for all that search for information and knowledge.
I am not suggesting that the regional groups disband or become less active, but if we, individually, are determined to see change - We, collectively, must work to achieve it.
It may sound corny, but I suggest a web meeting dedicated to the discussion and potential formation of ABUG, Australian Biofuels Users Group. I look forward to your responses.
