The whole idea of taxing home made biofuels is just that ridiculous. I wonder when they'll start trying to tax the vegetables people grow in their gardens, or the firewood they cut? If I build a chair will I have to pay a tax on it? If I build a windmill to make electricity should I have to pay a tax on that energy? Also, for those who claim that there *is* a federal tax on biofuels, what is it? The US fed gasoline tax is 18.4 cents per gallon (although ethanol blended gasoline is only 13 cents), the fed diesel tax is 24.4 cents per gallon -- what is the exact tax on biodiesel and on ethanol, and on hydrogen?

But the purpose of US foreign policy of domination is not just to make the rest of the world jump through hoops; the purpose is to faciliate our exploitation of resources." - Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General http://www.thesunmagazine.org/bully.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
