For Fallbrook’s Don Lougee, making his own biodiesel fuel isn’t just about the money. Lougee and his partner, Ed Hatcher of Temecula, produce biodiesel fuel for their trucks at a total cost between 70 and 80 cents a gallon – and that’s before they receive a tax credit of 50 cents per gallon, which reduces their price to less than 30 cents per gallon. Lougee has a daughter who is currently in the US Army, and the reduction on foreign oil dependence also helps reduce the profits used by some Middle Eastern interests to fund ter... Full story
