A few posts back I big-upped Jon Tester for killing the liquid coal mandate coal-state Republicans tried to attach to the Senate EPW energy bill (which passed committee last week).

I should add, lest things get too darn cheery around here, that the bill itself is largely focused on boosting ethanol. And you know how Gristmillians feel about that. So.

Good stuff

O RLY?
So are Romney and Obama still boosting Coal Fuels?

Also when it comes to biofuels.
Wow.

This study goes a LONG way into putting a damper on Ethanol.

Even if it came from Switchgrass ethanol, it would be the same or worse than gasoline.
