Nu Metal is a lot of things to lot of people--however, the words "environmentally conscious," do often come up, when discussing the genre. Bakersfield outfit, Korn, seems determined to change that. The Grammy award winning group announced plans to fuel all 16 (!) of their vehicles on the upcoming Family Values Tour with domestically produced bio-fuels.

The group is also introducing their own band-branded biofuel, under the name Korntastic. I'd be lying if I said I was a Korn fan, but honestly, any band who has the guts to sell biofuel using their name and the suffix "tastic" tacked onto the end, deserves kudos in my book.

Says lead singer, Jonathan Davis: "We can't save the planet overnight but this is our way of saying everyone has to start somewhere. As a touring band it's our responsibility to start making a difference. We encourage all other bands touring this summer to do the same."

Now, if only it were possible to harness the power of goatees.
