Iowa U.S. Senate Demcratic Party candidate Tom Fiegen went against the biofuels grain in the Hawkeye state recently in saying that federal tax incentives for ethanol and biodiesel should be done away with, according to Radio Iowa. "We're subsidizing our ethanol plants to the tune of 45 cents a gallon and yet they're still failing in bankruptcy," Fiegen told Radio Iowa. "VeraSun's plants are now owned by international firms." Candidate Roxanne Conlin said she disagreed with Fiegen's position.

(The success of the biodiesel fuel industry relies heavily on biodiesel testing <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s32Ke2VzrqU>, not only at the production level but at the consumer level, where degraded fuel may cause engine failures.  Of major concern to diesel and biodiesel users is the very real possibility that water has contaminated their fuel. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YcczdvPyAk).  The potential catastrophic impact of this problem is discussed at length  in this video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lh4qhXc_5s&feature=youtube_gdata.
