President-elect Barack Obama has picked two fans of Blue Sun Biodiesel for his cabinet. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson will be the new Secretary of Commerce and Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) will direct the Interior Department.

Governor Richardson:
The current Governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, who was named commerce secretary by President-elect Obama, supports Blue Sun Biodiesel. Richardson appeared at two Blue Sun Biodiesel grand opening events and supports Blue Sun’s efforts to bring a superior alternative energy to the U.S. people [ Press release: http://www.gobluesun.com/main/news/biodieselnewsstory.php?news_id=95 ].

Richardson was the energy secretary during the Clinton administration, so the support we’ve received is from someone who knows energy.

Senator Salazar:
President-elect Obama appointed another friend of Blue Sun Biodiesel to his Cabinet. Senator Ken Salazar will lead the Interior Department.

Sen. Salazar has been a leader in developing a clean, renewable energy economy, and has attended several Blue Sun events including Blue Sun’s announcement of the Safeway business, Blue Sun’s event announcing our NREL emissions test results, and, pictured below with now Senator Udall, the announcement of the C2B2 collaborative in Colorado.

The appointment of both Governor Bill Richardson and Sen. Ken Salazar demonstrate that the renewable energy economy will be a U.S. focus that is only growing in force. Blue Sun Biodiesel is in just the right place, at just the right time to be a part of the coming growth of alternative energy industries. We look forward to bringing everyone energy solutions for the future.

Thanks for reading,
