using biodiesel from palm and soy oil.
Tri-Rail, the commuter rail service connecting Miami with Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, announced this week that it was beginning to power most of its trains with biodiesel made from palm and soy oil, depending on the availability of each feedstock.
According to The Palm Beach Post, it is one of the first systems in the nation to do so.
Tri-Rail said the new fuel would cost no more than regular diesel because while it runs about 7 percent less efficiently it costs 10 to 30 cents less a gallon.
"We are about to transfer a trillion dollars out of this country," James Simpson, head of the Federal Transit Administration, was quoted as saying in The Post, "It’s going up in the smoke of diesel fuel, and it’s going to foreign countries".
