Ethanol suppliers seek protection

Local ethanol producers have asked the government to ensure that all oil companies are strictly complying with the mandated blending and absorb-domestic-supply-first policy before they are allowed to import additional ethanol supply.
The Ethanol Producers Association of the Philippines (Epap) stressed that the Department of Energy must send a clear signal that it could protect local ethanol suppliers who have already invested billions of pesos in their respective plants against cheaper imports from Brazil.
Epap executive director Tetchi Capellan said the group actually welcomed the government's decision to allow oil companies to continue importing ethanol even beyond February 2011. But in doing so, she said, the DOE must ensure that the import guidelines would strictly reinforce the spirit of the law and penalize violators of the Biofuels Law.
Unless a certificate is issued by DOE attesting to the full adherence by the importer of the blending requirement and compliance to the absorb-domestic-supply-first policy as prescribed by law, no imports should cross the borders, Capellan explained.
Capellan said the government must convey its decision on the future of the alternative energy program. About P15 billion had been invested in refineries such as San Carlos Bio-energy, Roxol Bio-energy, and Green Futures, she added.
Seven other plants are currently finalizing their financing deals to build the next refineries. All these investors have to be advised soon. They need to be told if the government wanted them to be part of its energy security agenda, or they should pack and abandon the program, she said.

GH:
Just shows how much out-of-the-box you have gotten and have gotten lost without a reference point. BTW, thinking out of the box is great but make sure you know all of the angles of the subject you are talking about or you might just end up having your face stuffed into the same box (figuratively).
btw, his definition of outside-the-box thinking is believing every conspiracy floating out their on the net
we, or i, have also read those conspiracy theories... like the US govt was responsible for 9/11, aliens rule the human race behind the scenes, illuminati-bilderberg-CFR-trilateral commission-new world order etc etc etc ETC
but i dont carry around those ideas in my head 24/7 and go around telling people "hey you blind fools open your minds you have no idea! you really have no idea!"
believing in conspiracy theories isnt out-of-the-box thinking
believing in conspiracy theories doesnt make you smart
those conspiracy theories are old and regular and boringLast edited by uls; March 1st, 2012 at 04:42 PM.

2 to 3% is the claim assurance in drop in fuel mileage but independent observations from many people have higher percentages of fuel mileage drops, usually in the range of 5% to 10% and even higher.
Example: Ethanol Blended Gas = Lower Mileage?Last edited by ghosthunter; March 2nd, 2012 at 10:16 AM.

I'm a boring, creature of habit, in-the-box person... mabuhay ang oil cartel!!! Hehehe.
Wonder what the next thread is: "Tires and the conspiracy behind it". Cars can actually fly but due to vested interests of oil companies (traffic), tire manufacturers and road contractors, its not seeing the light of day.
