Wondering where the hell you’re going to find a biodiesel filling
station at 10 p.m. on Saturday night? Your plug-in hybrid running low
on electrons far from home? One of the big challenges of driving an alt energy car is finding fuel. It’s not like there’s a compressed natural gas station on every corner, even here in the green car capital of California. But where there’s a wiki there’s a way, and the MapMuse service plots the location of various renewable energy fueling stations across the country, from biodiesel and ethanol to hydrogen (few and far between). Just enter your zip code or destination and the map will show the nearest locations, whether the station is public or private and other info. MapMuse is interactive, letting the public plot the latest additions to the alt energy network. (Fuel station owners can also pay $10 a year for listings.) The Washington, D.C. company started the service six months ago but is now calling on consumers to provide updates.
