Register Guard - Willie Nelson praises state's biodiesel efforts
SALEM - Country music star Willie Nelson wants Oregonians to get on the road again - in cars and trucks fueled by used cooking oil and homegrown crops.
Nelson was in Salem Friday to celebrate the expansion of a biodiesel plant he's invested in. The singer and songwriter said Oregon was helping shape the national agenda for renewable fuels.
''This is a great day for Oregon, this is a great day for the nation, when once again Oregon shows the rest of the people how to go, where to go, how to think,'' said Nelson. ''They are very progressive here.''
