In October, Congress passed a bill that gave biodiesel, which is also derived from biological material, such as soybean oil and animal fat, but has a different chemical composition, a tax incentive that translates into a $1-a-gallon break on production costs.

"The bad news is that it narrowly defined the kind of fuel receiving the incentive."

You got that right... it wasn't until seeing your post that I realized the tax credit was $1 per gallon -- everything else was in barrels -- so that would actually be about $40/barrel in tax breaks. Combine that with not having to pay for the turkey parts, and things look much better pretty quickly.
