Persistent offenders could face up to seven years in jail.

Is England a free country? Really? Kind of reminds me of cigarette smuggling in America.

Didn't everyone want cars to burn off of ethonal? Something we can grow with crops. Not only that, but it lowers world dependence on Arab states. Just imagine if England could export oil to the US, and the US could export cooking oil to jolly 'ole England. If we allowed our people and farmers to be free to grow, produce, and consume as they see fit, my goodness! Bad 'ole oil no longer needed. Tankers no longer needed. Refineries no longer needed. ANWR no longer needed. No drilling anywhere. No oil spills. And America's farmers would make us rich!

Obviously, cars might need a little modification in the long term. Big Deal. Here's our alternative feul, and the liberals are hopping mad over a very temporary end run around their tax system. This just goes to show how liberals are always negative, anti-progressive reactionists.

This thread will be bookmarked.

Yeah--and BP, Shell, and others could get into the cooking oil business. Recycle all the Micky D's, Burger King, KFC frying oil!

"Here's our alternative feul, and the liberals are hopping mad over a very temporary end run around their tax system. This just goes to show how liberals are always negative, anti-progressive reactionists. "

At USF in Tampa, (the home of Sami Al Arian, terrorist professor) I saw a story on local news here two days ago about the buses running on an ethanol/cooking oil mix. It's currently about the same price as regular diesel, but the pollution is greatly reduced. The leftists here are all for it. I guess they are more environmentally conscious at this point. The lust for money and control hasn't set in as of yet!

But I'm sure we all have faith in the control freaks, they'll be along shortly.

I hope you just inadvertantly forgot the sarcasm tag because this is, of course, total utter and absolute bullsh!t Ethanol used as fuel consumes more fossil fuel than just burning petrol straight from the refinery. Look at this link www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/01/8.23.01/Pimentel-ethanol.html to see the details that no ecofreak ever understands (or ever acknowledges if they do understand, because environmentalism is a religion, not a rational position)
