EPA sets 2012 cellulosic ethanol requirements

By SoundOffSister / January 2, 2012 /

We have told you about cellulosic ethanol before.  Basically, it is any ethanol not made from corn, and, pursuant to a 2007 law, a certain amount of this stuff must be blended into our gasoline.  The problem is that no one knows how to make it in any commercially viable operation, even though the federal…

Cellulosic ethanol…you can’t make this stuff up

By SoundOffSister / July 16, 2011 /

Cellulosic ethanol, at least as defined by the EPA, is any ethanol made from plant material that is not corn.  This is good because we are currently turning approximately 40% of our corn production into ethanol, thus driving up the cost of virtually everything we eat.  However, it is bad for oil refiners, and you, in the…

Lisa Jackson, administrator of the EPA, is at it again.  It would appear that she will not be happy until all existing power plants are shut down, and all proposed new plants exist solely “on the drawing board”.  Her latest attack involves sulfur dioxide emissions.

Yes, you read that headline correctly. The federal government has decided that spilled milk creates a serious enough danger that it needs to be regulated, and, the  EPA is just the agency to do so.  Follow the bouncing ball, here. It seems that the EPA has discovered that milk contains, a percentage of animal fat, which is…

Kondracke and Krauthammer on cap without trade – video

By Steve McGough / December 10, 2009 /

Timed perfectly with the start of the Copenhagen climate summit, the EPA announced an Obama administration endangerment ruling that would just skip the trade part of cap and trade if the government didn’t do something. Since Obama could not announce America would bend to environmental wackos, he brought this instead.
