The article states, "While the prices of fossil fuel hit record levels just about every day -- a new tax bill passed by Congress and likely to be signed by President Bush -- will boost renewable based biofuels like ethanol made from corn or green waste and biodiesel made from soybeans or waste food oil."

ABF representatives were flown to Washington, D.C., by the NBB on October 5th & 6th.
