"Fuel costs are one of the biggest expenses for an airline, but United Airlines hopes to get some help controlling those costs by investing in a California company that can make airline fuel out of household garbage."
"United last month announced a $30-million investment in Pleasanton-based Fulcrum BioEnergy Inc., a private company that plans to build a biofuel refinery near Reno by 2017."
"United is not the first airline attempting to hedge against volatile fuel costs. Delta Air Lines invested $150 million in 2012 to buy a refinery from ConocoPhillips."
