 Utah Biodiesel Supply Owner, Graydon Blair, In The News! Over the time I've been involved in Biodiesel I've participated in several community biodiesel events including being interviewed by local news media and even publishing biodiesel related articles. Below is a collection of some of these interviews and articles.

September 9th, 2005 KSL1160 AM News Radio - Salt Lake City, UT  KSL1160 is by far the most popular news radio station in Utah and one of the oldest. They have a powerful presence here and I was quite honored when they asked me to participate in a special report that was put together about how people were beating high gas prices. Distinguished reporter, Jon Dunn, got ahold of me and included me in his two part segment on beating fuel prices. The show aired during their peak news time, early in the morning with the morning drive. I had a lot of fun doing this interview! Download the segment below.

April 10th, 2006 KUER90 FM Radio - Salt Lake City, UT  On April 10th, 2006, myself, along with the Utah Biodiesel Cooperative, and Utah Clean Cities hosted another Biodiesel Forum for the public in Salt Lake City. We had several great speakers there and were lucky enough to have KUER FM90, one of our local public radio stations, come and cover the event. They took several sound bites, including one of me talking about biodiesel's popularity in Utah as I presented to the forum. Download the segment below.

The interview lasted about 7 minutes and was a lot of fun. It's by far the furthest away place that's ever asked to interview me. The interview was then aired over CBC Radio on all of their syndicated news stations and also put on Satellite Radio. CBC Radio is the equivalent of National Public Radio in the United States.
