POPSBailout Bill Loops In Green Tech, IRS Snooping
• One-year extension for wind and refined coal energy tax credits. A production credit for electricity produced from renewable marine energy sources Energy credits for "small wind properties," geothermal heat pump systems, and energy-efficient residential properties. • New renewable-energy bonds. Up to $800 billion in energy bonds may be offered to the public... • Tax credits for "cellulosic biofuels" and for "carbon dioxide sequestration." An extension of an alternative fuel credit. Tax credits for "new qualified plug-in electric-drive motor vehicles." Bicycle commuters get a nod,... The bailout bill also gives the Internal Revenue Service new authority to conduct undercover operations. It would immunize the IRS... federal laws, including permitting IRS agents to run businesses for an extended sting operation.. Anti-Drug Abuse Act in 1988, the IRS has possessed this authority temporarily, with occasional multiple-year lapses...such undercover authority would be made perma

POPSDemocrats To Commuters - Ride a Bike for 20 Bucks yes - here's the solution to our energy problems. Giving 20 dollar per month per employee tax deductions to businesses. Of course, they are frantically working to make sure that we can't drill for oil precisely where we KNOW it is - because that might actually make sense apparently. But your legs might be worth a double sawbuck to your employers. Not to you of course - the tax benefit will go to your employer. Just one other question - are we now going to have bike tax police to monitor the tax returns of business who claim this deduction to verify that the employees are truly humping themselves into the office? When will the first bike tax deduction scofflaw be hauled before the authorities? Lots of employment benefits here.

POPSDemocratic Leaders to American Commuter: Ride a Bike and the bill would "...effectively outlaw development of America's vast offshore oil resources." The Democrats plan for energy independence. Maybe I would be more favorable if I thought, for a minute, these same Congressional members would follow their own bill. Can't you just see Pelosi, Frank, Rockefeller, etc....riding their bikes to their offices every morning?? Nope, never would happen.

POPSGreat Idea - Now Make it Even Better This bike, despite its cost, looks like a pretty great idea. It's much lower scale than getting a moped or scooter, but still provides power to get you around. Now if they really wanted to make this a great bike, they'd set it up so that if you pedal instead of using the motor, your pedaling charges the batery. Maybe that'll come in the next version?
