Neil Young
Neil Young began using biodiesel on the 2004 "Greendale" tour, powering his trucks and tour buses with the fuel. "Our Greendale tour is now ozone friendly,” Young said. “I plan to continue to use this government approved and regulated fuel exclusively from now on to prove that it is possible to deliver the goods anywhere in North America without using foreign oil, while being environmentally responsible.”

Following the success of that tour, in 2005 Neil won the National Biodiesel Board Influencer Award. A NBB press release stated "the legendary singer/songwriter has shown outspoken support for biodiesel and the family farm, articulately sharing his knowledge of the benefits of biodiesel with millions of Americans." He was also instrumental in Farm Aid using the fuel in 2004, where he and Willie Nelson told thousands in attendance that "It's clean, it's American grown fuel, it doesn't damage anything. This is so obvious.”
