Yes, anoints.

So proclaimeth the headline from the company's PR firm.

Today, entertainer Willie Nelson is helping Oregon's first commercial biodiesel plant celebrate its two-year anniversary by headlining a press conference and ground-breaking of an expansion of the plant.

The plant is to grow from one million gallons a year to five, albeit a fraction of the size of conventional biodiesel plants.

This one's a little different, though. In best hippie fashion, Pacific Biodiesel's Salem, Oregon plant has been converting recycled cooking oil from restaurants and food processors in Oregon and Washington, such as Burgerville and Kettle Foods. It's now starting to use canola oil grown elsewhere in Oregon.
