sorry, i was trying to post that on another thread, my bad
libertarian ping
Unless you are the agency raking in the fines...(Where is that money going, anyway, the next Solyndra?)--and I wonder how juicy the kickbacks are!
More and more, junior Bush reminds me of Nixon. From his signing this biofuel foolery with penalties and subsidies to his compassionate conservatism with Medicare Part D and No Child Left Behind he was still vilified by an opposition that wanted our defeat in war.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t GW Bush sign CFR after saying he thought it might be unconstitutional but let the courts sort it out? I may remember that wrong...
That's about what I recall.
...the fuel, which is made from wood chips or the inedible parts of plants like corncobs. Refiners were required to blend 6.6 million gallons into gasoline and diesel in 2011 and face a quota of 8.65 million gallons this year.
You are looking at the future of agency funding. They are being "lenient" because this amount probably covers operations for the sector.
What annoys me about biofuels is that most of the supposedly "useless" sources upon which they rely are in fact quite useful in producing compost for topsoil.
Communisim, back in the day it was called commie.
In other news, the monthly chocolate ration has been increased to 20 grams.

Things still stink that Bush #1 did as well. Even Reagan succumbed to a Brady in a wheel chair and took away machine guns out of the hands of nearly all Americans for good.
here’s more EPA nonsense and the wasting of millions of taxpayer dollars.
Thanks for the link.
I was thinking along similar lines. I think the government doesnt go far enough. Since they’re hell-bent on punishing somebody for failing to use a non-existent fuel, why not force it into existence by punishing you, me, and every other living soul who failed to produce this miracle cure?
What shocks me more than anything is that the Slimes would even touch a story like this. True, it was Bush and not their savior who signed the law, but that leftist rag has never met the regulation it didn’t like -until now. Has anyone checked the temperature in Hell lately?
