Replying to: steve_ (Jul 01, 2009 5:29 pm) Would like to see Conan Obrien do his green flashlight skit on this. I hope that innovators/inventors of American ingenuity are already at work with designs to foil this nonsense. Some kind of device that will prevent monitoring of one's movements on the roads/highways. This present bunch of nut politicians in DC are probably very close to, if not already, trampling our Constitution and Bill of Rights with actual or pending legislation. Another scheme they have in mind to violate our privacy involves a national data base of every US citizens' "health" profile in the upcoming national health care plan. Also, under alread passed (House) Cap and Trade, there is a provision to require inspection by govt authority (Feds?) before a sale of your house to assure that it meets insulation effectiveness. If it doesn't, you can't sell your house until corrections are made. As has been said on this board many times before, the most sensible plan is to adjust the gas tax charged at the pump to adequately fund roads and bridges.

Replying to: euphonium (Jul 06, 2009 2:58 pm) 66-685 (Operative date January 1, 2005). Purpose of act. The purpose of the Alternative Fuel Tax Act is to supplement the provisions of the tax upon motor fuels by requiring any person who operates on the highways of this state a motor vehicle powered by alternative fuel to purchase an alternative fuel user permit to pay such person's estimated fuel use tax liability. http://www.revenue.state.ne.us/fuels/statutes/alt_fuel_tax.htm

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 06, 2009 3:11 pm) Maybe they can just add the fee to the water bill. "For ethanol from irrigated corn grown in Nebraska, travel in a car that achieves 16 mpg of ethanol represents the use of about 50 gal of water/mile driven (gwpm), the study calculates." Penn Energy |
