You're right, it is a bunch of shit. Once in a while you get a whiff of just how ugly unrestrained bureaucratic power can be. This is only different in that it doesn't involve the IRS, Homeland Security, the INS, or whatever, but just a couple of dumb goons in a corrupt Midwestern state. And it flies in the face of rationality. It's a little like the stories about cops arresting the guy who injures a thief trying to break into his house. My big question regarding biodiesel is somewhat different. What happens when we run out of French Fries? Seriously, has anyone stopped to consider the ecological, etc., impact of running not just a few thousand but 200 million + vehicles on used cooking oil? I haven't really studied the situation, but it does seem like a problem. |
