“This represents a symbolic and substantive departure from the old ways of doing business” says Tri-State Biodiesel CEO Brent Baker, “Instead of powering the memorial with petroleum that comes from the same countries that produced the terrorists, we are now using domestically produced biodiesel, made from recycling waste cooking oil produced right here in New York City.”
