#3 Damn, Darth - you beat me to it.

If I were the companies, I'd take this to court. It would cost a lot less than $6.8 million. :-(

#4 Democrat ruling parties prefer you donate to them after or before you file for a waiver. After all not all companies are equal. Some are corrupt, just enough corrupt, or totally corrupt. But none match their master, the Elect in Washington DC. The ultimate money launderer.

And if you cannot pass a law, get Betsy - the nice girl in forensics to stop all work to impose a stop work in time for a recess of Congress so you cannot make payroll for the month because of a bug in the clay that's endangered.

But OBAMA's personal Frankenstein SOLYNDRA, LIGHTSQUARED, Evergreen, SpectraWatt, BrightSource, Tonopah Solar, Abound Solar, Nevada Geothermal Power, sun power, Granite Reliable, ProLogis, Monroe Regional Airport, Beacon power, Siga Technologies Inc, VOLT, Fisker gets a totall pass.

#5 The corn subsidies have stopped as of January this year. I know of a corn plant shutdown and another never to be built. We are losing about 100 farms a day now. Everything costs too much. Go green on your farm and get some breaks. Then you can't stop people coming onto your property even for hunting. Your stream is blocked with a fence and they plant whatever they want. No payments for not growing crops as in the past. Million acre company farm has its own small town, bank, and all the bells and whistles. Expensive farm equipment and money in the bank. Small farms are being forced out. Just like small business. OH, you have to be 18 to operate farm equipment.

#7 Vinod Khoslas Range Fuels has declared bankruptcy
Range Fuels received a $76 million federal loan from the George W. Bush administration in 2007 and another $80 million from the Obama administration in 2009.

If you can't make it with a federal mandate to use your product then you suck beyond measure.

#8 Home Depot associate: "Cellulosic biofuel? Yes, if we have any, it will be on aisle 4 next to the Transparent Aluminum and Unobtanium."

You can do it, we are help-less.
