2007 Energy Bill update: “15 million gallons ethanol mandate for 2015″ a go, says Majority Leader
In Washington, more details emerged regarding the 2007 Energy Bill, which is now said to be be ready before December 7. Among items still under negotiating, a dispute between the House and Senate over administration of the ethanol mandate. The House prefers the EPA while the Senate wants the Department of Energy.
Currently under negotiation are restrictions on feedstocks and fuels to ensure they produce at least a 50 percent carbon dioxide reduction. The balance of corn ethanol and cellulosic ethanol in the mandate is still under negotiation. Sen. John Thune (R-South Dakota) said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told him there would be an energy bill this year that would contain a 15 billion gallon ethanol mandate by 2015.
