What's the alarm at 1:01?

@YankeePat94 Across the river from Pathmark, you will see a bunch of bulldozers and other equipment in a yard which is half under RT 21.

@cloinwalsh where is the Knapp Greco Wharf?

[cloinwalsh]

@YankeePat94 This is bridge is fairly low to the water and opens frequently for the PVSC Skimmer and other vessels.

@YankeePat94 No it is rather high and a lift was not required for this unit. However it did open recently for a barge move to the Knapp Greco wharf. Joe Supor Trucking removed a huge transformer.

this is the first time since 1992 or 1993 that these bridges have opened for marine traffic?

Did the Stickel, Route 280, Bridge open?

Check with the NBB website for a station list in your area. The market in the U.S. is still pretty small. These guys do push fuel into the local market but it's through bulk distributors so chances are if your buying bio somewhere in the area it could be their fuel.

Hey, how come we are not using this Biodiesel in the US? Does Innovation have a pump? Can I fill up my truck there?
