Making Fuel from fat

ConocoPhillips and Tyson Food are now making their excess animal fat into fuel. They will be using fat from beef, pork and poulty to make a renewable diesel fuel. Thi gas is expected to be in gas stations in the fourth quartr of this year. Some people say that these companies will be able to recieve a tax credit that they should not be allowed to get. This tax credit is specifically made for creating new refining space for clean burning fuels. The argument is that these two companies will not be building new refinery but instead continue to use their original machines. The Treasury department has recently added that the companies can still use the tax credit if they continue to use the machines they already own.
