I can think of no other tax idea as stupid as this one. Whoever proposed this tax should be tied down under a cow for a week and let the cow crap on them. Idiot.
#1: The
Bush administration proposes these regulations.
#2: The EPA regulation proposal is
preliminary: Asking for business input.
#3: The DEP sees an
opportunity for farms to profit from global warming.
Regarding #1: Check the calendar.
Regarding #2: "American Farm Bureau Federation Director of Regulatory Relations Rick Krause said the notice, a 200-page document that is part of the Federal Register, is not a specific regulatory proposal. Rather, it is the EPA's way of asking groups and individuals to weigh in on the pitfalls and benefits of regulating the gases."
Regarding #3: "DEP is interested in developing ways for farmers to make money through good environmental practices, Hanger said. The agency has been trying to position Pennsylvania at the forefront in alternative energy, such as methane digesters to produce electricity and the biofuel industry."
QUIT BITCHING PA. FARMERS: GET UP TO SPEED!!!!
YOU SOUND LIKE DETROIT!!!
