That's not the only thing, there is more.<br /><br /><a href="http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html" rel="external nofollow">Read more</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/727099081059279063-7157451058182684994?l=mike-welsh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Welshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04489172681699585513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727099081059279063.post-52666432919580134742010-09-09T09:32:00.000-07:002010-10-03T09:00:38.251-07:00Fuel prices in the Netherlands are a target for massive taxes. Making them the highest in all of Europe.<br /><br />In the year 2007 the tax on petrol was € 0,68 per litre or 3,5 dollar per gallon. There is also 19,00% VAT over the entire fuel pricing, making the Dutch taxes one of the most high priced in the world.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/727099081059279063-5266643291958013474?l=mike-welsh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Welshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04489172681699585513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727099081059279063.post-9384136864445135212010-09-09T09:07:00.000-07:002010-09-09T09:29:46.909-07:00The investigators at the BP disaster found out that the oilspills happened due to eight failures.
