I would not have thought of Indiana as being a leader on the frontier of environmentalism. But lo and behold, Govenor Mitch Daniels declared Reynolds IN as BioTown, USA on Sept 13th 2005.

The newspaper INtake published an article last week that seems almost too good to be true. Not only is it about trying to make a small Indiana town produce almost all it’s own fuel, but they make it sound like it might not be that hard, and maybe it would even be profitable.

I certainly hope that this experiment works out, because it could be a model for communities all over farming areas. Incredible.
