The 'Abiotic Oil' Controversy By Richard Heinberg 10-6-4
The debate over oil's origin has been going on since the 19th century. From the start, there were those who contended that oil is primordial - that it dates back to Earth's origin - or that it is made through an inorganic process, while others argued that it was produced from the decay of living organisms (primarily oceanic plankton) that proliferated millions of years ago during relatively brief periods of global warming and were buried under ocean sediment in fortuitous circumstances.

That sounds exactly like our Dhimmi controlled PRNC, they will not lose a nickel no matter what innovation it may crush.
Things are pretty bad here in the “Old North State”.

Yep, this guy should have checked with his state and local governments first about this issue before proceeding with his otherwise excellent plan.
In Pennsylvania, if you want to build your own ethanol still and make your own alternative fuel (for a Flex Fuel vehicle such as a newer model Chevy S-10 pickup), then you're required to submit monthly returns on ethanol usage (not production), along with payments at .21 per gallon burned. The tax sucks, but it still beats 31 cents per gallon that PA charges, and if you use your Flex Fuel vehicle for work and make your own fuel, then you can file for a .53 per gallon federal tax credit at tax time (you've got to keep a mileage log though). The tax laws on this stuff are definitely obsolete and need updating, especially since the state and federal governments are trying to encourage alternative fuels usage.

Sounds a little like when all those people bought diesel cars ‘cause diesel fuel was “half the price” of gas.
Haha, look at it now./sarcasm

This reminds me of the looney legislator in our home state who wanted to tax higher mileage cars because they used less gas and therefore didn’t pay their ‘fair share’

Like my state who raised taxes to get us in more fuel effecient cars.
Now that we did that, the tax rev is down and they consider a tax hike to make up for the fewer gallons sold.

Do not, repeat, do not try and not pay taxes around Democrats. It only seems that Global Warmings is their religion. It may or may not be. But definitely taxes are their sacrament.

So if my state promises to use gas tax income for roads, then uses it for other purposes, can I sue and get my money back?

The biotic origin folks got led astray early on by the laevo-rotatory nature of petroleum. However, it only slightly rotates light to the left, which is more consistent with bacterial contamination than biotic origin.

There was a similar case in Illinois. The law has been changed since then. I look for a similar move to happen in North Carolina. No one likes this kind of bureaucratic overreach.
