This is all about government collecting tax revenue from present and future developments. Government cares little about alternative energy itself. Just taxes they believe they are entitled to before and above any other develpoment.
Where did you ever get that idea?
Well the good Senator didn't say all that stuff like it was a bad thing, necessarily.. ;)
$0.00; sounds familiar.
Yes, I do. Calpernia "pings" me on a regular basis. I've stated many times that when the Feds show up to tag my laying hens, and any other animals I have at the time, it immediately becomes "Butchering Day" and I'll find another way to make some extra cash. ;)
When I was attending college, back in the Pleistocene age, one semester I went through the usual check in procedure, picked courses, paid my tuition, etc. and a week later I got a notice that I owed $0.00 on my tuition and if I didn't pay it I might not be able to take my courses. I thought this was ridiculous so I just threw it away.
A week later I got a WARNING that if I didn't pay the $0.00 right away I might be dropped from my courses. I went over to the Bursar's office and showed them the notice and they just laughed and said it was just some goofy computer deal and not to worry about it, they would put a note in the computer.
A week later I got a ***FINAL NOTICE*** that if I didn't pay the $0.00 immediately I would be dropped from the course rolls. Soooooo, I wrote out a check for $0.00, put it with the notice in an envelope addressed to the University, care of the Bursar's office, and dropped it in the inbox at the cashier's window.
I didn't hear anything more about it from them, but the bank dutifully processed the check. I completed my studies without further incident.
Please stop being so accepting of government misbehavior and poor policy making.
Of course you should say they should NOT pay taxes for the used cooking oil. See post # 107 to find out why.
Also please have a look at the link website given in post #52.
I inquired with my bank about that option. Back in the Pleistocene age you didn't have to worry 'bout computers. They weren't sure but both they and I were concerned they'd actually refuse to honor the check.
That would mean the bank would charge me a bounced check fee and the IL Rev Dept would now have an actual fee to charge me.
The whole thing started because I was paying a small amount of sales tax on a small side venture of mine. I was late once and the penalty worked out to be less than $1.00 and apparently rounded to zero. Thus I was flagged as late and owing a penalty but the amount was declared to be zero.

-if this couple isn't selling the fuel what is the problem?
In Oregon up to a couple years ago owners of electric cars had to pay double the usual periodic registration fee to help make up for the fuel taxes they didn't pay. In the last legislature, they equalized them again (by raising the fees for everyone else to that level) - and of course doubled most other DMV fees as well. Oh yeah this was a Republican controlled legislature that did this. One of the reasons the GOP is no longer in power here IMO.
You can produce until you're blue in the face and never pay tax.Tax laws. If you produce endlessly but sell nothing what is taxed?Where did you ever get that idea?
Capital gains, or one's estate, unfortunately.
Capital gains, or one's estate, unfortunately.Apparently you don't understand the premise or the question.
This my FRiends is why we will never be free of foreign oil or petroleum. Those in power have a double interest, personal financial benefit and tax revenue to the state and fed. If it isn't taxed it's illegal and if it illustrates the uselessness of govt. solutions it is forced underground and then buried with extreme prejudice.
If people understood the various methods that the US uses to collect revenue...they'd suddenly realize that changing the dynamics of life...could drasticaly cut into revenue earnings for IRS and state tax folks. Its the same way that they've made tobacco enemy number one but they won't put it in the same category as mary-j-u-wanna. If we ceased tobacco growth...then the government would take a huge revenue hit.
Everything not compulsory is forbidden.
""I would agree that the bond is not acceptable, $2,500 bond," Watson said, adding that David Wetzel should be commended for his innovative efforts. "(His car) gets 46 miles per gallon running on vegetable oil. We all should be thinking about doing without gasoline if we're trying to end foreign dependency."
This is what commie regulation gets us. We cannot innovate because we're just not allowed. We don't have licenses to invent things that don't exist yet. We need permission from the nannies.
Yes, and this way the sheople also do what the Commies like them to do - BLAME THE EVIL SELFISH COMPANIES for "charging too much".
