Green Star Kentucky Electric Car Demonstration Covered by News Media

Green Star Products, Inc. (OTC:GSPI), announced today that the April 14 Kentucky Electric Vehicle Demonstration was successful and attracted news media despite rainy weather conditions.

In an article written by TheNewsJournal.com titled �The Future is Now: Electric Car Company Considers Local Plant� (on the Internet site it's titled �Electric car company considering Williamsburg factory�). Colored pictures of the vehicle cover the newspaper's front page and the featured article covered many aspects of Global Green Car's program including the advantages it brings to target markets.

Brooks Agnew, Vice President of Engineering for Green Star Products Inc., said �The electric vehicle production assembly plant will be managed by Global Green Cars, Inc. Global Green Cars is a U.S. and International Consortium of automobile companies and associated supply companies which includes Green Star Products as an engineering and technology provider.

�The company hopes to start production soon dependent on State and Federal incentives. The company has looked at other States such as Utah, however, building somewhere in the Eastern part of the country would be preferable. The problem with the Western United States is that most suppliers are in the East.�

"Kentucky,� Mr. Agnew said, �is less than an eight hour drive from every supplier that we need. It makes sense to be in Kentucky."

This region from Toronto to El Paso is commonly called Auto Alley because suppliers and many auto assembly plants are located along a 200 mile wide market area.

The newspaper further stated, �Several local dignitaries gathered at the Corbin Speedway Tuesday morning to see a demonstration by Green Star of their electric car engine, and to test drive one of their vehicles, a 1994 Geo Metro (NYSE: GM) that had been converted to electric use in 1995 (see April 13, 2009, GSPI press release titled �Green Star Products Announces Kentucky Electric Car Demonstration for Legislators and Media � � http://www.greenstarusa.com/news/09-04-13.html)�

The newspaper also quoted some of the test drivers, �Rep. Charlie Siler, who was the first volunteer to drive the vehicle Tuesday, said he feels it would be excellent for commuting to and from town�.

"It has more pick-up than a truck," noted Whitley County Judge-Executive Pat White Jr., who test drove the vehicle and has been in talks with the company for 18 months. "It really will surprise you how much power it has. It has a lot of room. I'm 6'4" and 260 pounds and I had plenty of room in the vehicle. I think it would serve the purpose as a commuter vehicle very well and save people a lot of money."

Mr. Joseph LaStella, President of Green Star Products, stated, �Because of the rain encountered at the track on Tuesday demonstrations will continue this week at the Corbin Motor Speedway and other locations for TV news and other news media to attend.�

Mr. LaStella also stated, �Green Star Products core business is still in the biorefinery alternative fuel market and presently it's constructing biorefinery facilities at its home base in Glenns Ferry, Idaho. Green Star has become a leader in the Biorefinery Industry, which includes biodiesel production, algae production and cellulosic ethanol production.�

On April 15, the WKYT TV News Station covered the story titled "Electric-Vehicle Plant Proposed In Southern Kentucky" about the electric vehicle plant site. The reporter, Ms. Michel Mason, conducted several interviews in front of the Williamsburg Courthouse.
