That does not exist...

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/business/energy-environment/companies-face-fines-for-not-using-unavailable-biofuel.html

WASHINGTON — When the companies that supply motor fuel close the books on 2011, they will pay about $6.8 million in penalties to the Treasury because they failed to mix a special type of biofuel into their gasoline and diesel as required by law.
But there was none to be had. Outside a handful of laboratories and workshops, the ingredient, cellulosic biofuel, does not exist.


Man..Can't fix stupid.

Can you just post that from now on? You bring the same redundant drivel to every thread you post in. Might as well save everyone the 8 seconds it takes to read your post.

They knew the targets we coming from 2007. I guess they should have invested more money into the product to make it available in time.

Biofuels are just such a bad idea on many levels, but some people just want to put off the enevitable as long as possible...

Biofuel makes fuel and food more expensive. Terrible thing for the govt to push.

Basically what you're saying is, is that you support fascism.
