Running diesel engines on grease isn't anything new, but for those interested, there's a doc that's on the Web that goes into more than just how to convert your car. It takes a look at everything from where and how to top up, to where to get the best grease.
There are several places where people state the obvious and get mildly preachy--including pro forma railing against tyrannical corporate and US policy (complete with a Nazi comparison)--but there are plenty of interesting bits like the complications in terms of standardizing things so the idea takes off in a bigger way. And who knew Morgan Freeman was in the grease biz?
"Greasy Rider" is one of a few films that Cinematic Rights Media, digital film sales reps, are giving Online premieres this Earth Day. I haven't seen the rest but others include "The Green Chain" (Dailymotion, Hulu and YouTube) which is about the battle over logging, "The Unforseen" (a Robert Redford-produced film on iTunes and Amazon VOD) about a community vs. developer preservation fight in Austin, "Blind Spot" (SnagFilms, Dailymotion and Joost) which focuses on the oil and energy crisis, and "Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home" (Amazon VOD).
Some are free, others will cost you, but they're out there and eco-friendly...you don't have to drive anywhere to take a look.
