House Committee Approves Ethanol Study
Bill
The United States House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology approved a bill that would require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a comprehensive study on the E-15 gasoline fuel blends. The committee approved the bill, HR 875, by a vote of 18-17.
Committee Chairman had this to say, "Time and again, we see instances where
American businesses are unnecessarily harmed by the EPA's regulatory and
political agenda." Both the American Petroleum Institute and the Environmental
Working Group, two organizations that do not often agree, back Mr.
Sensenbrenner's E15 bill. The American Automobile Association (AAA), as well as
groups representing snowmobile, boat and motorcycle owners also support the
bill.The United States House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology approved a bill that would require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a comprehensive study on the E-15 gasoline fuel blends.
