Orange Beach makes fuel from Shrimp Festival cooking grease - al.com: "Among the many things that the National Shrimp Festival produces in great quantity — traffic, tourists, tax revenue — is grease.

Last month's four-day festival in Gulf Shores featured about 40 food vendors.

Most of them peddled something fried, be it eggplant or alligator, sweetened batter or scallops, turkey or shrimp. And in feeding an estimated 300,000 festival attendees, vendors accumulated some 1,300 gallons of used cooking oil."
