Regsiter Guard - Celebrities to help celebrate opening of biofuels plant
SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel is celebrating the opening of its 5-million-gallon-per-year biodiesel plant today with the help of a red-headed stranger. "It's very cool to have Willie Nelson involved," as well as Annie Nelson, a national leader in the biofuel movement, said Ian Hill, co-founder of SeQuential Biofuels. Adding to the cool quotient: Jack Johnson, the Hawaiian surfer/acoustic pop star/environmental activist, and his wife, Kim, recently have invested in SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel.
