Milking the system

Hey, folks, this is going to be hard to believe, but our government is paying for stuff they were never authorized to pay for. In 2001 they passed a law giving corporations an "alternative fuels" rebate, and somehow our major paper companies figured out they could add diesel fuel to a process that had never used diesel fuel before and qualify for the alternative fuels payment. There's more information on the Science blog.

How much is this boondoggle going to cost? How about $8 billion dollars? Disgusting!
