Snazzy, Eco-Friendly Items from Biodiesel of Las Vegas
One of my tweeps from the Twitterverse has launched a new, eco-friendly store.
Biodiesel of Las Vegas (@biodeiseloflv) has its official online store at www.BiodieselofLasVegas.com.
Biodiesel of Las Vegas will launch the Ecommerce portion of their website, offering eco- friendly products such as mouse pads made from recycled cardboard, aluminum water bottles, 100% organic t-shirts and hats. BLV aims to increase the awareness of the biodiesel industry by marketing and selling biodiesel related products. All proceeds from the sale of Biodiesel of Las Vegas merchandise will be allocated to the completion of construction on the 100 million gallon per year biodiesel producing plant (80% complete). In a time where many biodiesel plants are struggling to stay in business, BLV continues to be an innovator in the biofuel industry by diversifying revenue generating opportunities
Biodiesel of Las Vegas converts biomass into biofuel.

I just bought two shirts to show my support of alternative energy made in the USA. I like that companies like this are environmentally conscious, not just about their core business, but in other aspects as well.
We need more companies like this!!!

Be careful who you support. I agree with supporting biodiesel as an alternative fuel, but this company has done nothing but bad things to it’s employees and it’s investors. BLV IS NOT in production and they are no where near completion of their plant. They absolutely do not have the technology to support a 10 million gallon a year plant let alone a 100 million gallon a year plant. There are several other PRODUCING Biodiesel companies that need your support. This one is facilitated by greed, and stupidity with all proceeds going to it’s construction companies survival. Beware!

Sounds like you may have had some bad experience with them, possibly as a employee but there there will always be negative people showing their disbelief or willingness to put a prior company down. I am sorry you feel this way. Everything I read about them is positive and I like that they are trying to finish their plant. I do have a question about greed though. If they can not produce fuel right now, what proceeds from BLV are being used to fund anything while their plant is being built?
I could possibly sympathize with your points if I only understood them. How can a company that is building a plant and not producing anything yet (aka – not making money from bio-diesel), be supporting the construction industry or their other companies?
Personally I am okay with any company looking to make the environment better. I do not care if they are construction, banking, government, or any other looking produce a good that we need.
Once again, I am sorry you had a bad experience. Looking at the bio-diesel industry at a whole, I imagine there are many people like you that had some affiliation with an alternative fuel company that has been negatively affected because of the economy and government mandates.
Good luck and stay green!

I don’t know what Brad is talking about. I just went to BLV’s website and checked out their picture gallery of the plant….looks like one of the more impressive facilities that I’ve seen. I’m sure they will be capable of producing 100 MGY.

WOW Brad, could you be any more transparent?! If that isn’t the blatantly obvious response of an “I’ve been wronged” ex-employee I don’t know what is. I have to agree with GMB here… Brad please do tell how a company that is hemorrhaging money right now is greedy? Let me guess.. you define a company that is spending millions to build a business with the intent to make millions someday, as “greedy”! So I will assume since leaving them you now work in the nonprofit sector?.
I Don’t have a clue who these people are, but near as I can tell by the little research I’ve done, I wouldn’t define the work, money and effort they have put in to this project in that past couple of years as “greedy”. Any effort to help us become less oil dependent and help us stop exporting our wealth has my support, and if they can someday turn a profit doing it, I say good on them!
