Kettle Foods Gets it

Salem, Ore.-based Kettle Foods says that it has yielded environmental and economic benefits by adopting measures that include offsetting all of the electricity used to operate both its Salem and Beloit factories with wind power. Additionally, the Beloit plant is home to 18 rooftop wind turbines.

"When we decided to go for green - or in this case, gold - with LEED certification of our new factory, we knew it was the right thing to do," says Tim Fallon, president of Kettle Foods' North American division.

The company also recycles of 2,300 gallons of waste oil with conversion to biodiesel used to power a company fleet of diesel-engine cars called BioBeetles, and reduces more than three million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually resulting from the elimination of shipping lines between Oregon and the Midwest.

Mayor Barrett and Milwaukee Bio-Diesel CO-OP

Mayor Tom Barrett spoke at the Wisconsin Renewable Energy Summit interesting speech I like how he talked about having Bio-Diesel to sell at Jones Island and how he was so much pro renewable energy.
Great!
Please then Explain Mayor Barrett why after the City of Milwaukee shut down The Milwaukee Bio-Diesel CO-OP why your office has not returned any of their phone calls asking for your help in finding a better place to set up shop?
How can the City of Milwaukee shut the CO-OP down when they where following the City’s guidelines?
Here is a great opportunity for the City of Milwaukee to prove that actions speak loader then words.
