The Err Up There EPA relaxes clean-air requirements for ethanol-fuel plants		16 Apr 2007	Daily Grist
The Err Up There EPA relaxes clean-air requirements for ethanol-fuel plants Before last week, plants turning corn into liquor (yes, please) were allowed to emit 250 tons of emissions per year before triggering clean-air regulations, while those processing corn into ethanol fuel could emit only 100 tons annually.

Will Johnson Stand Firm on Emissions? EPA finalizes renewable-fuel standard, evaluates emissions ruling With much fanfare, the Bush administration has finalized a renewable-fuel standard for cars and trucks.
