Fischer –Troppf goes after state incentives for biofools.

True to form, our Rosebank friends are again snuffling at the public purse for handouts. Not satisfied with decades of publicly-funded support (when oil was $10 a barrel) , their continued advantage on pipeline tariffs and their usurious retail margins, Sasol is now applying pressure on government for industry incentives to produce biofools. It must be assumed that they will be also using that other little leverage – a new GTL plant in the Waterberg or Free State – to convince government to open the tax coffers on soya oil. No handoutee, no fuelee, Mr. Gavameent.
Enough already from this lumpy playing field. Can’t someone get a grader and level things out?
