From the





Dear Readers,

We’ve come so far , but there is still no resolution to the biodiesel provisions of the energy package. It is possible that negotiations could wrap up today. Please keep the calls and letters going to your Members of Congress.

Click here to see a letter and list of Senators who signed it in support of the biodiesel tax incentive. If your Senators signed it, please tell them thanks and ask them to speak to the leadership of their respective parties to urge them to include the biodiesel incentives in the final package. If your Senators didn’t sign it, please ask them to do so to go on record in support of the biodiesel tax incentive.

Please also contact your Members of the House and give them this simple message:
Include biodiesel tax provisions in the Energy Bill!


If you live in California, please contact Congressman Bill Thomas (R-CA) , Chair of the Ways and Means Committee. Ask him for his support to keep the biodiesel provisions in the Energy Bill. His contact numbers are 202-225-2915 and fax 202-225-8798. Since his phone lines are likely to be busy, please fax him a brief letter and blind copy NBB (573-635-7913). Thank you!
