BP have the best environmental policy and invest significantly in renewable energy. Shell/Chevron have been involved in human rights disasters in Africa/South America/Indonesia according to research. This includes supporting military groups who have committed crimes against humanity in return for protection of their oil rights/profits (according to numerous reports and documentaries). I cannot support any such actions and as a result my choice of evils is BP. I note that exxon/mobil do not get a second thought (It seems widely agreed that they are terrible). <br /><br />Hence, I will go BP where I can. <br /><br />I would conclude with a caution of relying on any report, oil companies from what I can tell are pretty much evil, I suggest researching those evils thoroughly and choose the one you disagree with least and the company's actions to countenance those evils.FRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540518730421817771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768902745814603465.post-85117822421306347182011-01-10T23:17:31.747-08:002011-01-10T23:17:31.747-08:00Hi Barber_q,

Good news! <br /><br />The European biofuel market is much larger than the Aussie one but as a start here are some suppliers:<br /><br />-RetailersSAFF - South Australian Farmers Fuel (SAFF) began retailing B100 in South Australia in 2001 and now also sells B20 (marketed as "Premium Diesel") at some 52 service stations across 4 states. SAFF currently sells B100 at 14 of these service stations. <br /><br />-Gull - a Western Australian based company, introduced B20 Biodiesel to several Gull service stations on April 3, 2006 which has since expanded to a total of 21 sites of purchase. In addition, pure Biodiesel (B100) along with other blends can be purchased in bulk. Gull was the second rollout, after SAFF, of Biodiesel by a service station network. Gull is also involved with the Western Australian Government to provide B5 Biodiesel for use in Transperth buses. Eventually the fleet will be provided with B10 or B20 blends. Currently seven percent of Transperth's bus fleet is running Biodiesel.<br /> <br />-reeFUEL - a retailer in Townsville, Queensland. reeFUEL sells only B100 and as of September 2006, was selling 50,000 litres per week into a community of about 160,000. This is believed to be the highest penetration of biodiesel per capita in Australia. <br /><br />-Conservo - a small biodiesel retail outlet in Melbourne's inner suburbs, looking to expand to other locations within Melbourne's suburbs.<br /><br />Alternatively you could make your own! <br />journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html<br /><br />MMEthical Shopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435352032284815275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768902745814603465.post-18416401109265179502011-01-09T21:10:04.667-08:002011-01-09T21:10:04.667-08:00Wow, great research, Thx!
