We felt compelled to pass along this information to you, our readers.

The Biodiesel industry is in trouble and on a crucial path right now. If the "tax extender package" is not approved this could be the nail that seals the coffin for this truly innovative and dynamic industry. You may not have heard of H.R. 4213. If you have, it may have been a passing reference to a "tax extender package", or something like that. The bill, officially the "Tax Extenders Act of 2009," passed the house late last year, and is being considered in the Senate right now. It covers many things, including:
Individual Tax Relief

Business Tax Relief

Charitable Contributions

Community Assistance

Disaster Relief

Energy
One other thing it does is save the life of the American biodiesel industry.

Buried in the lengthy bill is section 401:
SEC. 401. INCENTIVES FOR BIODIESEL AND RENEWABLE DIESEL.

(a) Credits for Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Used as Fuel- Subsection (g) of section 40A is amended by striking ‘December 31, 2009’ and inserting ‘December 31, 2010’.

(b) Excise Tax Credits and Payments for Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuel Mixtures-

(1) Paragraph (6) of section 6426(c) is amended by striking ‘December 31, 2009’ and inserting ‘December 31, 2010’.

(2) Subparagraph (B) of section 6427(e)(6) is amended by striking ‘December 31, 2009’ and inserting ‘December 31, 2010’.

(c) Effective Date- The amendments made by this section shall apply to sales and uses after December 31, 2009.


Once the biodiesel tax incentive became law at the end of that year, and the whole industry lobbying force became dedicated toward preserving that incentive.
*It is worth noting that the playing field WAS leveled (The industry got the $1/gallon eventually), and a stupid loophole that encouraged companies to source their fuel outside of the US and sell it outside of the US was also closed.


AND HERE'S THE THING: MOST OF THE INDUSTRY, WHICH COMPRISES TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS, MOST PRODUCTION HAS SHUT DOWN. MANY HAVE BEEN LAID OFF ALREADY.

Even if the bill is passed tomorrow, it will be a hard road for those of us hanging on, as it will take some time to implement. The bottom line is, the industry needs this.
Thank you for reading this Blog, and please consider calling your Senators and voicing your support for H.R. 4213, The Tax Extenders Act of 2009.

Please keep Glass King in mind if you need an Arizona Glass company.
Thanks!!!

There are usually very few complaints when it comes to living in Arizona. For about eight
months of the year we have weather that is the envy of most of America. However, there are
a couple times of year where we have monsoon season. It is during these times that Arizona
residents get to experience something other parts of the country take for granted – driving in
the rain.

Here are four easy to follow tips about driving in the Arizona rain.

Slow down. Increased speed also increases the risk of hydroplaning. The direct contact
between the tires and the road decreases at greater speeds.

Don’t make sudden moves. To slow down, ease off the gas pedal before braking to
reduce the risk of spinning out. If necessary, shift the gears down. If you do spin out, gently
steer into the skid and don’t over correct. When changing lanes, ease over to the other lane
and leave several car lengths between you and the car in front of you.

Leave plenty of room. The National Highway Safety Administration recommends leaving
two car lengths behind the vehicle in front during optimal condition and at least five car
lengths during decreased visibility. The message: don’t tailgate. Reduced visibility and
traction also reduces the ability of both car and driver to react to a situation.

Check your tires and glass. Worn or bald tires reduce traction and reaction times
significantly. In the event you have to stop suddenly tires that are worn badly will not react
to your brakes as well as they should. Also, replace any cracked or chipped windshield, as
your view and visibility can be reduced to a point where it is not safe to drive.

When you need to replace or repair your windshield, contact us today for Arizona Auto
Glass. Our company offers 100% satisfaction guarantee and our highly trained technicians
are mobile – they come to your home or office as a convenience to you.

They grew crops such as cotton in abundance.

Chip Repair Tents

You may have seen tents along the road side in your town that advertise "free rock chip repairs". These can usually be found on corner parking lots or around car washes and can be found in virtually every city and town throughout the country .

Are these chip repairs actually free?

The gimmick with this marketing technique is that they will say ” it’s free to you”, but they will end up billing your insurance if you have full coverage insurance. However, nothing is free and it is faulty logic to say it’s free, because it can potentially affect your insurance or your own pocketbook.

What if you do not have full glass coverage on your car insurance policy? It is also possible your insurance company will not pay all or part of the claim if this glass company is not an approved glass provider or you do not have glass coverage on your policy. In those cases you may end up being stuck with all or part of the glass chip repair bill.

The next time you see a tent with a sign that says "free chip repair", keep on driving. Then go home and contact Glass King.

We are approved by ALL insurance carriers and will bill your insurance company based on their approved pricing so you will not be stuck paying out of pocket for any part of the bill.

If you do not have glass coverage on your car insurance policy we guarantee to repair that windship chip for a low price.
