Biodiesel company comes full �Circle' North County Times - North San Diego and Southwest Riverside County News - NCTimes.com - Californian.com: "CARDIFF -- In the war for the next American fuel source, Peter Schuh is a foot soldier looking to become a general. Tired of his job designing Web sites, he searched for a way to fight in the battle for American energy efficiency.
What he found were biofuels. So last year, the 33-year-old Cardiff resident tossed aside Web site creation to design biodiesel- and ethanol-making machines. His products could have everyone from the biggest companies to the smallest families running their vehicles on fuel they produce at home.
'It's people creating their own independence from oil companies (and) foreign oil dependence,' he said. 'You won't have the same (energy) struggles when you deal with farmers growing corn in Michigan' as Americans face with foreign oil.
That, Schuh said, was what drove him to create Circle Biodiesel and Ethanol Corp. in Cardiff. His company designs and produces machines for companies and people to make their own biodegradable fuels, like biodiesel and ethanol. Schuh got the idea for Circle Biodiesel from a Berkeley street fair two years ago. When his father and company senior vice president, Allen Schuh, told him about biofuels and the fair, Peter had plenty of doubts.
'I was trying to punch holes in the whole idea and I couldn't,' Peter said. 'I haven't been able to shake this since.'"
