SALLAMALLAIKUN…

I am Mrs.Sajida Talfah Hussein, A widow of the Iraqi’s formal leader Genaral Saddam hussein.who died sometime ago by hanging under the custody of the united nations ( U N ).Since his death and even prior to the announcement,I have been thrown into a state
of antagonism,confusion,humiliation,frustration and hopelessness by the presentleadership of the IRAQi’S Liberation Organization and the new Prime Minister.

I have even been subjected to physical and psychological torture.

As a widow that is so traumatized,I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment. Moreover the incedent was so surprise to everyone of us expecial my husband that a human been can challenge him in such way,
it’s unbeleiveable.

You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the discovery of some fund in my husband’s secret bank account,companies and the allegations of some huge sums of money deposited by my husband in my name of which he refuses
to disclose/give up to the corrupt IRAQ’S Government.

In fact the total sum allegedly discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of millions of Dollars and they are not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you know the Muslim community has no much regards for women more importantly when the woman is from a christian background.

Hence fort my desire now is to seek for a foreign assistance.
I am having the sum of ($25.5) million dollars with a Financial firm which I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your bank account for safe keeping and Investment on my behalf.

Since we have finalised with the United Nation (UN) and the United States of American Armed forces that I have every right to Invest in any part of the world today as far as we are no more in the custody (UN) of cause .

This arrangement will be known to you and I alone and all our correspondence should be strictly on email alone because our government has tapped all my lines and are monitoring all my movements.

THIS IS THE AREA I WOULD PREFARE TO INVEST THIS MONEY ON MY BEHALF: OR IF YOU HAVE A BETTER VALID INVESTMENT PLAN:

(1) ESTATES OR FINANCIAL FIRM….
(2) SHIPPING COMPANY…..
(3) SHARES IN THE CO-OPERATE ORGANIZATIONS….

In view of the above if you are willing to assist me for our mutual benefits, I will offer you ( 15% ) percent of the total amount of ($25.5)M to enable you to keep it safety or Invest it on my behalf.

Please note that this is a confidencial matter if you are honest,I am going to entrust more funds in your care as this is one of the legacy we keep for our children.

In case you don’t accept this offer please do not let me out to the
security and international media as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.

Please reply me back with my private email address

Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Sajida Talfah Hussein.
INSHA-ALLAH…..

On your first point, the Corn Flakes box is not meant to be all-encompassing but rather a proxy for what other factors go into food costs. Even for the largest U.S. food aid program, 65% of their costs are not food related, but rather transportation, handling costs and administration.

On your question, we’ve been working with numerous universities and other researchers to study the agronomic value of cobs and found that their nutrient value is much less than their weight. In fact, many farmers say that they are a nuisance because they take nitrogen and a lot of time to break down. Other studies have shown that you can remove up to 50% of the stover without impacting soil quality (depending on where you are). I’d be happy to chat with you in greater depth if you’re interested.

I’d be interested to know just how sustainable Jeff thinks that cellulosic ethanol is in terms of soil structure and fertility. Does he think that removing stalks (not his interest admittedly) would be a good thing?

Advanced Biofuel Industry Development Initiative Benefits Consumers, Farmers and Gas Station Owners with Localized “Field-to-Pump” Strategy

Baton Rouge, LA (September 18, 2008) – Governor Bobby Jindal has signed into law the Advanced Biofuel Industry Development Initiative, the most comprehensive and far-reaching state legislation in the nation enacted to develop a statewide advanced biofuel industry. Louisiana is the first state to enact alternative transportation fuel legislation that includes a variable blending pump pilot program and a hydrous ethanol pilot program.

Field-to-Pump Strategy
The legislature found that the proper development of an advanced biofuel industry in Louisiana requires implementation of the following comprehensive “field-to-pump” strategy developed by Renergie, Inc.:

(1) Feedstock Other Than Corn
(a) derived solely from Louisiana harvested crops;
(b) capable of an annual yield of at least 600 gallons of ethanol per acre;
(c) requiring no more than one-half of the water required to grow corn;
(d) tolerant to high temperature and waterlogging;
(e) resistant to drought and saline-alkaline soils;
(f) capable of being grown in marginal soils, ranging from heavy clay to light sand;
(g) requiring no more than one-third of the nitrogen required to grow corn, thereby reducing the risk of contamination of the waters of the state; and
(h) requiring no more than one-half of the energy necessary to convert corn into ethanol.

(2) Decentralized Network of Small Advanced Biofuel Manufacturing Facilities
Smaller is better. The distributed nature of a small advanced biofuel manufacturing facility network reduces feedstock supply risk, does not burden local water supplies and provides for broader based economic development. Each advanced biofuel manufacturing facility operating in Louisiana will produce no less than 5 million gallons of advanced biofuel per year and no more than 15 million gallons of advanced biofuel per year.

(3) Market Expansion
Advanced biofuel supply and demand shall be expanded beyond the 10% blend market by blending fuel-grade anhydrous ethanol with gasoline at the gas station pump. Variable blending pumps, directly installed and operated at local gas stations by a qualified small advanced biofuel manufacturing facility, shall offer the consumer a less expensive substitute for unleaded gasoline in the form of E10, E20, E30 and E85.

Pilot Programs
(1) Advanced Biofuel Variable Blending Pumps – The blending of fuels with advanced biofuel percentages between 10 percent and 85 percent will be permitted on a trial basis until January 1, 2012. During this period the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Division of Weights & Measures will monitor the equipment used to dispense the ethanol blends to ascertain that the equipment is suitable and capable of producing an accurate measurement.

(2) Hydrous Ethanol – The use of hydrous ethanol blends of E10, E20, E30 and E85 in motor vehicles specifically selected for test purposes will be permitted on a trial basis until January 1, 2012. During this period the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Division of Weights & Measures will monitor the performance of the motor vehicles. The hydrous blends will be tested for blend optimization with respect to fuel consumption and engine emissions. Preliminary tests conducted in Europe have proven that the use of hydrous ethanol, which eliminates the need for the hydrous-to-anhydrous dehydration processing step, results in an energy savings of between ten percent and forty-five percent during processing, a four percent product volume increase, higher mileage per gallon, a cleaner engine interior, and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Act No. 382, entitled “The Advanced Biofuel Industry Development Initiative,” was co-authored by 27 members of the Legislature. The original bill was drafted by Renergie, Inc. Representative Jonathan W. Perry (R – District 47), with the support of Senator Nick Gautreaux (D – District 26), was the primary author of the bill. Reflecting on the signing of Act No. 382 into law, Brian J. Donovan, CEO of Renergie, Inc. said, “I am pleased that the legislature and governor of the great State of Louisiana have chosen to lead the nation in moving ethanol beyond being just a blending component in gasoline to a fuel that is more economical, cleaner, renewable, and more efficient than unleaded gasoline. The two pilot programs, providing for an advanced biofuel variable blending pump trial and a hydrous ethanol trial, established by the State of Louisiana should be adopted by each and every state in our country.”

State Agencies Must Purchase or Lease Vehicles That Use Alternative Fuels
Louisiana’s Advanced Biofuel Industry Development Initiative further states, “The commissioner of administration shall not purchase or lease any motor vehicle for use by any state agency unless that vehicle is capable of and equipped for using an alternative fuel that results in lower emissions of oxides of nitrogen, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, or particulates or any combination thereof that meet or exceed federal Clean Air Act standards.”

Advanced Biofuel Price Preference for State Agencies
Louisiana’s Advanced Biofuel Industry Development Initiative provides that a governmental body, state educational institution, or instrumentality of the state that performs essential governmental functions on a statewide or local basis is entitled to purchase E20, E30 or E85 advanced biofuel at a price equal to fifteen percent (15%) less per gallon than the price of unleaded gasoline for use in any motor vehicle.

Economic Benefits
The development of an advanced biofuel industry will help rebuild the local and regional economies devastated as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita by providing:
(1) increased value to the feedstock crops which will benefit local farmers and provide more revenue to the local community;
(2) increased investments in plants and equipment which will stimulate the local economy by providing construction jobs initially and the chance for full-time employment after the plant is completed;
(3) secondary employment as associated industries develop due to plant co-products becoming available at a competitive price; and
(4) increased local and state revenues collected from plant operations will stimulate local and state tax revenues and provide funds for improvements to the community and to the region.

“Representative Perry and Senator Gautreaux have worked tirelessly to craft comprehensive advanced biofuel legislation which will maximize rural development, benefit consumers, farmers and gas station owners while also protecting the environment and reducing the burden on local water supplies,” said Donovan. “Representative Perry, Senator Gautreaux, and Dr. Strain, Commissioner of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, should be praised for their leadership on this issue.”

About Renergie
Renergie was formed on March 22, 2006 for the purpose of raising capital to develop, construct, own and operate a network of ten ethanol plants in the parishes of the State of Louisiana which were devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Each ethanol plant will have a production capacity of five million gallons per year (5 MGY) of fuel-grade ethanol. Renergie’s “field-to-pump” strategy is to produce non-corn ethanol locally and directly market non-corn ethanol locally. On February 26, 2008, Renergie was one of 8 recipients, selected from 139 grant applicants, to share $12.5 million from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Renewable Energy Technologies Grants Program. Renergie received $1,500,483 (partial funding) in grant money to design and build Florida’s first ethanol plant capable of producing fuel-grade ethanol solely from sweet sorghum juice. On April 2, 2008, Enterprise Florida, Inc., the state’s economic development organization, selected Renergie as one of Florida’s most innovative technology companies in the alternative energy sector. By blending fuel-grade ethanol with gasoline at the gas station pump, Renergie will offer the consumer a fuel that is more economical, cleaner, renewable, and more efficient than unleaded gasoline. Moreover, the Renergie project will mark the first time that Louisiana farmers will share in the profits realized from the sale of value-added products made from their crops.

Biofuel is a bright spot in our economy. Corn Belt states now have cheap fuel, expanding economies, and budget surpluses. Biofuel industries are still evolving. Ethanol refineries are coming online in numerous other states: Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania, and California. Alternative feedstocks such as sorghum, organic waste, biomass and algae are being introduced. The State of Louisiana and Renergie are building a network of small, localized sweet sorghum ethanol plants, with a 5 to 1 return. Subsidizing biofuels creates jobs, stimulates our economy, and generates County, State, and Federal tax revenue. Money back in your pocket. Every dollar spent on biofuel subsidies results in $10 in economic stimulus. So go figure.

Merrill Lynch reported that ethanol blended into regular gasoline lowered the cost by 15% and saved 60 billion dollars this year. The new ethanol blender pumps will make a bigger impact, depending on who gets elected President. Typically, blending ethanol with gasoline is done in large quantities by oil companies or fuel distributors. Who ever does the blending gets the 51 cent per gallon tax credit subsidy. With the new onsite blender pumps, the retail gas station will get the tax credit. That changes everything. Retailers are expected to pass along most of the blending subsidy to the consumer. Thus, the various blends, E20, E30, E40, E50, E85 will be about 40 to 50 cents a gallon cheaper at the blender pumps. Cheaper than ethanol already is. The Republican Party wants to discontinue the blending subsidy and take this discount away from you.

If the subsidy stays, ethanol blended at the pump will compete head-on with regular gasoline. This is why Big Oil wants the Republicans to get rid of the blending subsidy. They are threatened by the coming blender pumps. The American Petroleum Institute and the National Petrochemical and Refiner’s Association are challenging the North Carolina Blending Act. Big Oil is trying to prevent NC fuel retailers from blending ethanol and gasoline at the pump and taking-over the blending subsidy. If retail blender pumps prevail, the blending subsidy will be passed-on to consumers, and the oil industry will lose it. Ethanol blends at the pump will be much cheaper than gasoline. Blends might soon outsell gasoline, as is the trend in Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and other ethanol producing states.

The Republican Party receives huge campaign contributions from Big Oil and their intermediaries. Their battle cry is drill, drill, drill, which we need to do. But drilling now will only impact fuel prices moderately, 7 to 10 years from now. And why all the fanfare about offshore drilling, when oil companies already have 6,000 oil and gas leases they’re not using?

The Republican platform also calls for eliminating the 54 cent per gallon import tariff on foreign ethanol. That would flood the market with imported ethanol and weaken our domestic ethanol industry. The Republicans advocate that we should lessen our dependence on foreign oil by replacing it with a new dependence on Brazilian Ethanol. This would increase our Trade Deficit and the interest we pay on the National Debt, because we pay for imported fuels with debt instruments and Government Bonds. Importing Brazilian ethanol would not save you much. After shipping and handling costs from Brazil to the U.S., oil companies would pocket the rest. The consumer might save a penny or two at the pump, but your hidden cost would be 6% floating interest on imported fuel, paid for with debt instruments.

By following the Republican plan to end the ethanol import tariff, we would flood the market with foreign ethanol, trade one dependency for another, drive up the Trade Deficit and the National Debt, and pay more revolving interest on imported fuel. Instead, we need to keep stimulating domestic biofuels.

The subsidies we pay on petroleum based fuel are SIX TIMES higher than what we pay on ethanol, biodiesel and biogas methane, yet oil companies make record breaking multi-billion dollar profits. If the Republicans want to discontinue Biofuel subsidies, they should also discontinue Petroleum subsidies. But, instead, they fight to keep $50 Billion worth of annual petroleum subsidies intact. Republicans are clearly aligned with their benefactors – Big Oil.

The Republicans plan to end affordable biofuel subsidies and to end the ethanol import tariff. This would disrupt a sector of our economy that is thriving, and cost you 40 to 50 cents a gallon at the pump. Domestic Biofuels are now a key component of our National Security. Disrupting our Biofuels Plan is poor judgment and NOT in our National Interest.

The Republican Deception is:
Big Oil First. Not Country First.
