Rest In Peace, old friend, your work is finished.......
If you want on or off the DIESEL "KnOcK" LIST just FReepmail me........
This is a fairly HIGH VOLUME ping list on some days......
KnOcK!.....
God help us. The libs (especially our savior, Osama Obama) are reinventing science again without any consideration for the cost to the end user and the economic impacts....just to keep the "green vote". Such useless morons.
It feels like triangulation by Obama, though. Is this the first piece of legislation he's ever attached his name to?
I'm convinced that it will work but aren't the same environmentalists who fight drilling going to fight this?
And what does this legislation do, except to fund research that has already been done over and over, and the technical feasibility has already been demonstrated again and again.
What we need is for a COMMERCIAL enterprise to get into the large-scale conversion of coal to liquid fuel, and if it is necessary to do so, extend that enterprise a tax abatement program on whatever profits they make on the marketing of these products.
The very idea of "corporate welfare", however, is enough to send the Dem'crat majorities in both the House and Senate into screaming fits. This would only "benefit the rich", and "concentrate even more money into corporate hands".
Duh.
Do people want energy independence or not? And energy which shall be available at a reasonable price. Compare this with the subsidies proposed to producers of ethanol, or tariffs laid on imported ethanol, how is that different from paying subsidies to primary energy producers?
Carbon taxes? Only if the rest of the income tax structure, both corporate and individual, is ELIMINATED altogether, for Federal revenue purposes.
How to encourage development without spending any money except a boatload of DOD funding.
The U.S. has more reserves of coal than Saudi Arabia has oil. It is time to tap into this.
Isn't this a subsidy?
Barack Obama.
