Trader, I posted today about the grease vehicles and hwy tax, so I looked it up. When gas shot up people changed there diesel running vehicles over to grease. Well the EPA stopped it all by saying those people were using product unknown by the EPA for powering a car. Fines $7000+. So here we are again with people driving car that have been approved but where is the tax money? If the move contuses with electric power well people will put a power meter at there house or charge on the road. Got to love the EPA like they didn’t know farmers grew there fuel in the early 1900′s. Just last week something on the news about people stealing grease well back in 07′ grease was free and people were happy to give used grease away!
Wasn’t trying to be an A$% today with my post.
Now that we got the lesson on the multi fuel cars, trucks and tractors in the early teens do you know who and why- stopped multi fuel production then. ?????
Care to enlighten me?
a lot of the farmers-especially in the isolated areas started using their waste grain to make alcohol in large stills. Not drinkin stuff fuel grade. It made those farms quite self sufficient. But as always we had the government here to help the big petro comp——- errr we the people. They saved us from the evils of alcohol and gave us prohibition. Which included makin these stills illegal even though none of it was ever intended for consumption. Thank goodness we have them to help us.
Interesting. A new twist that I hadn’t heard before. Doesn’t surprise me one bit.
It is really not much different then the drug laws that came later. It is where we made cannabis illegal without letting most people know what were doing. Mr hearst and Dupount had a lot to do with backing that legislation – seems like he had a plan to make paper out of wood pulp-plus the pharms and needed an edge. There was a big oppps coming with that one though. Rope- when the war started we were cut off from rope and the government started the HEMP for Victory program to get farmers growing hemp for the rope we needed. Of course as soon as the war was over the same government cut those farmers throats and stopped them again.
Yep, I know that story. One most people don’t know but should.
