Dear Special Counsel Staffin, I support tracking the source of greenhouse gases. As a farmer, I already track all the fuel I consume in the production of crops. I provide that information to the IRS. I don't think it a significant inconvenience to pass this information on to another organization within the government to help get a handle on this crises we created. I am confident any competent farmer would also submit their fuel consumption to the IRS. Shoot, the information could be gleaned directly from the IRS. The challenge is connecting the annual cost spent on fuel to gallons consumed. For gross approximations, one could do this by analyzing typical fuel costs during max consumption periods at the zip code provided. It would be pretty close. Good enough for government work. Sincerely, Kendall Shannon
